Registration for the conference, "The Politics of Community and Identity:
Learning From One Another" is now open. This major international and
interdisciplinary conference, to be held May 20-22 at the University of
Ottawa, is designed to provide insight into how sub-state communities
participate in democratic politics. It will explore issues of community
formation, the definition of a community's agenda,processes for the
representation and recognition of communities, the management of dissent
and debate within communities, and the effect of the overlapping and
competing identities of community members on the community's advancement
of its agenda. The conference promises to generate a stimulating
discussion of the role that communities play in modern democratic
politics.
