CALL FOR PROPOSALS AND ABSTRACTS
In preparation for the KIP multi-disciplinary conference that will be taking place on March 31st and April 1st, 2017 at the Olayan School of Business at the American University of Beirut (Lebanon), we are happy to announce our Call for Abstracts and Proposals focused on examining issues pertaining to Discrimination and Sexual Harassment in relation to gender and sexuality within the context of the Arab Middle East.
The two-day conference aims at bringing together activists, students, academics, private and public sector representatives, international organization representatives, donors as well as interested members from the general public to discuss and debate multiple formulations and manifestations of sexual harassment and discrimination and chart paths and processes for advocacy, policy recommendations and change at the organizational, community and societal levels.
Throughout the conference, we hope to generate recommendations for policies, practices and theory that are informed by multiple local perspectives and that provide momentum for specific ways through which we can support each other in the implementation of positive change forward.
Based on this, the attached call invites local and international candidates across sectors and disciplines to submit proposals or abstracts by October 30, 2016 falling under one of the following four below categories:
A. Scholarly Research: Proposal to present the findings of a research study
B. Expert Panel Debate: Proposal to bring together a small group of experts to debate a central question
C. Conference Sub-theme Track: Proposal to organize your own track (i.e., a series of connected sessions) around a key question
D. Training Workshops: Proposal to organize a skill-based training workshop
Please see full details in the Call for Abstracts and Proposals attached. The guidelines for submissions are available on the KIP website http://thekipproject.info/call-for-abstracts/.
It would be great if you would consider submitting and, if possible, circulating widely among your networks.
with best wishes
Charlotte
