Call for Papers
This conference celebrates
the seventh edition of the Multidisciplinary Network of Researchers on
Indigenous Peoples EMPI (redempi.blogspot.com.it) founded in 2010 at the
University of Salamanca.
The objective of this seventh meeting that
will be held at the Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy), is to offer a
multidisciplinary debate on indigenous issues by addressing three main themes: the
effects and the impacts of economic development and crisis on these peoples in
different parts of the world; the role of these economic phenomena in
generating or multiplying existing inequalities, or in fuelling potential
social conflicts; forms of indigenous organization and resistance.
The sub-thematic areas of
interest to the next meeting are:
1)
Indigenous peoples vis-à-vis socio-economic exclusion and
inequality
2) Indigenous peoples and gender-related
inequalities: theoretical and practical aspects
3)
Indigenous
peoples and natural resources’ exploitation
4) Old and new policies to combat
inequalities faced by indigenous peoples
5) Indigenous peoples, public policies and
potential socio-economic conflicts
6) Forms of indigenous and political
aggregation and organization in times of socio-economic crisis
Besides
these above-mentioned areas, the Scientific Committee may consider also other
paper proposals dealing more broadly with indigenous peoples.
