INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE On COMPARATIVE LAW Organized by: Amity Law School, Noida and School of Business & Law, Edith Cowan University [Western Australia] February 19-20, 2021

CONFERENCE 2021: THE THEME

The field of comparative constitutional law has grown immensely over the past couple of decades. Never before has the domain had such a broad range of interdisciplinary interest, with lawyers, political scientists, sociologists and even economists making contributions to our collective understanding of how constitutions are designed and operate. It is imperative to compare the legal structures of different countries in order to draw a better understanding of one’s own legal framework. Subsequently, it also allows improving the understanding of the relationship between the legal, social, political and economic spheres of a country as well as identifying opportunities for legal reforms. The ultimate aim is to deal with the plurality of constitutional rules and to draw attention to similarities and differences in order to create models to explain the values that underpin the constitutional agreements.

Driven by the global spread of democratic government and the expansion of international human rights law, the prominence and visibility of the field has grown exponentially. The use of comparative analysis to express skepticism about judicial power, constitutional design, and the status quo of liberal democracy, by opening up the range of possibilities, is squarely in the best traditions of “comparativism”, and it continues to be much needed. The conference affords an opportunity to legal professionals, learned members of the academia, research scholars and students to explore the various domain comparisons between two or more countries deemed suitable to them with the lone stipulation that India or Australia, must be taken as the basal of comparison.

Sub-Themes

The author may make a choice from either of the following sub-themes which are non-exhaustive.

Covid-19 and the Ensuing Challenges to Democracy, Human Rights, Business, Technology, etc.
The Scope of Freedom of Expression
Media and Law: The Interface
Freedom of Thought, Conscience and Religion
Health and Reproductive Rights of Women
Gender Neutrality vis-a-vis Sexual Offences
Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and LGBTQIA Rights

PhD in Biomedical Optics: Wearable Spectroscopy for Metabolic Neuroimaging

closing date : 3 December 2020

About Us: The Neuro Optics Lab is a new, multidisciplinary research group that operates jointly between the Departments of Physics and Engineering at the University of Cambridge. We develop and validate new optical methods to monitor brain function and metabolism non-invasively. The lab currently focusses on near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based methods to perform in-vivo monitoring of metabolic markers such as haemoglobin oxygenation, mitochondrial function and blood flow. We are interested in pioneering tools and techniques to monitor relevant physiology for both basic science and medical applications. Our work is highly translational and we work closely with clinical partners in Addenbrooke’s Hospital to deliver technologies that progress medical therapeutics.

Project Description: NIRS is a prominent tool for functional brain imaging in situations where traditional neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI) isn’t possible, such as intensive care or in the community. Our lab develops broadband spectroscopy techniques to perform metabolic monitoring with NIRS. This has unique applications in brain injury, autism and dementia. To facilitate the translation of these tools into the clinic, devices need to be developed to cover the whole brain that are non-invasive and wearable, to perform metabolic imaging where is it most needed. The successful candidate will test and develop novel technological solutions to perform wearable broadband spectroscopy. These solutions could range from those developed in-house, existing equipment within our laboratories, or with industry. On successful demonstration of wearable single-channel on-head spectroscopy, they will pursue the development of a multichannel system for whole-head metabolic imaging. This project will involve creating new computational methods alongside experimental optics to achieve diffuse optical imaging of cerebral metabolic function. These devices will be validated with test objects which mimic biological optical properties and on healthy human volunteers.

This project is in collaboration with the Dr Sarah Bohndiek (VISIONLab, bohndieklab.org) in the Department of Physics.

This system will ultimately be deployed in the Addenbrooke’s Hospital to investigate optical metabolic biomarkers of dementia with Prof John O’Brien, Department of Psychiatry.

Desirable Skills: A background in optics/photonics and experience with programming (MATLAB, Python, etc.) would be advantageous. The candidate must have (or expect to obtain) a 1st or 2:1 degree in physics, engineering, or a related subject. Candidates with previous industrial or academic research experience and a strong interest in the project will also be considered. We value a candidate with the desire to learn, create and innovate.

The successful candidate will have a strong interest in optical technologies and experimental work. They should: enjoy working at the interface between different disciplines; be keen to take the initiative with independent creativity and problem solving; and exhibit strong motivation toward the project. In addition, they will require: excellent oral and written communication skills; good team working skills; and a strong critical thinking capability. Examples of any past experience that demonstrates these characteristics should be highlighted in the cover letter that accompanies any application. We expect the candidate will develop into an independent experimental researcher and will present their work in academic journals and conferences.

Further Information: Interest in or requests for more information about the project should be made to Dr Gemma Bale (gmb49@cam.ac.uk) and Prof Sarah Bohndiek (seb53@cam.ac.uk) with the subject line “Wearable Spectroscopy PhD” before application to the University.

This 3.5-year studentship will cover home level University fees and a maintenance allowance.

Applications should be submitted via the University of Cambridge Applicant Portal www.graduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/directory/egegpdpeg, with Dr Gemma Bale identified as the potential supervisor.

EPSRC FIBE2 CDT PhD studentship with AVEVA and BP: Prioritising interventions in infrastructure design and operations for lower carbon energy assets

This is a four-year (1+3 MRes/PhD) studentship funded through the Cambridge EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Resilience in a Changing World (FIBE2 CDT). The FIBE2 CDT aims to develop the next generation of infrastructure professionals who can create, shape and deliver the national vision for UK infrastructure, who will be equipped with a versatile and cross-disciplinary skill set to meet the most complex emerging challenges and contribute effectively to better infrastructure decision-making in the UK. Further details can be found at https://www.fibe-cdt.eng.cam.ac.uk/

The project is funded in collaboration with AVEVA, a Global Leader in Industrial Software that deliver solutions and expertise to optimize engineering, operations and performance supporting the evolution of the industries and BP, a company that provide heat, light and mobility to customers all over the world, with a purpose to reimagine energy for people and the planet and an ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner.

Project details: Several companies have recently announced pledges to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Achieving this target will require profound changes in the design and operation of assets. Yet, currently there is little awareness about the greenhouse gas emissions implications from infrastructure design choices that take into consideration materials, fabrication and uncertainties related to how digital technology will impact operations and decommissioning. To what extent can design choices about industrial infrastructure influence future operational emissions? Which parameters should be considered and which should carry the highest weight in decision-making? What trade-offs exist between design for operability and design for minimal emissions?

This project will explore these questions and it has the following research objectives: 1. Compare the relative importance of the various stages of the life cycle of assets in terms of key economic and environmental variables. 2. Explore the impact of alternative interventions in the design, location, operation, material choice, and timeline of deployment in terms of emissions and costs. 3. Explore how design and operation of infrastructure influence the achievement of climate targets. 4. Develop a dynamic tool to assess the whole system impacts of design and operation choices of large scale energy assets. 5. Prioritise interventions and recommendations of future practices for specific case studies.

Informal enquires about this post can be made to Dr André Cabrera Serrenho (ag806@cam.ac.uk).

For general enquiries, please email cdtcivil-courseadmin@eng.cam.ac.uk.

Applicants should have (or expect to obtain by the start date) at least a good 2.1 degree in a Bachelors or Masters in any engineering or related subject. Relevant industrial experience would be an advantage.

For further information, go to: https://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/jobs-and-studentships/postgraduate-study

Dr Maike de la Roche wishes to appoint a student to work on the project entitled: Hedgehog signalling in unconventional T cells. For further information about the research group, including their most recent publications, please visit their website: https://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/research-groups/de-la-roche-group

Project description: γδ T cells are unconventional T cells that combine adaptive features with rapid innate-like functions and can have striking anti-tumour effects – mainly due to their extensive cytotoxic capacity and IFN- γ production. However, tumour-promoting roles of the IL-17-producing γδ T cell subsets have recently emerged. Signalling pathways regulating these two very different subsets of γδ T cells are poorly understood.

The Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway has important roles during embryonic development and adult tissue maintenance. Our lab has found that cell-intrinsic Hh signalling is important for CD8 T cell killing. Whether Hh signalling is critical for the function of γδ T cells is not known. This project aims to elucidate how Hh signalling is orchestrated in γδ T cells and influences their development throughout the anti-tumour response in vivo.

The research project will involve the use of in vivo models, culture and genetic manipulation of primary immune cells, live cell imaging approaches, RNA-Sequencing, quantitative proteomics, FACS as well as basic cell biology and biochemistry.

Qualifications/skills: The ideal candidate would have a solid knowledge of immunology and experience in one or more of the areas mentioned above. He or she would be highly motivated to drive an independent research project.

Funding: This project is funded by a Cancer Research UK studentship that includes full funding for University and College fees and a stipend of £19,000 per annum.

Eligibility: No nationality restrictions apply to Cancer Research UK funded studentships.

PhD Studentship – From molecular recognition to drug design: Deeply exploring and characterizing molecular pockets to overcome drug resistance @ university of Cambridge

Deadline
The closing date for applications is 15 November 2020, with interviews expected to take place in December/January.

Dr Pau Creixell wishes to appoint a student to work on the project entitled: From molecular recognition to drug design: Deeply exploring and characterizing molecular pockets to overcome drug resistance.

For further information about the research group, including their most recent publications, please visit their website: https://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/research-groups/creixell-group

Project description: Our newly established lab combines machine learning approaches with high-throughput biochemistry to study how proteins recognise their substrates, how cancer could perturb this process, and how to find highly selective drugs to overcome drug resistance in cancers.

Aberrant protein kinase-driven signaling causally contributes to cancer and, in consequence, protein kinases are major targets for cancer therapeutics. Therapeutic efforts have traditionally focused on targeting the ATP-binding pocket of protein kinases, however, these drugs often must be used in high concentrations to outcompete ATP, have low specificity, and the proteins often develop resistance. In this project, by deeply studying and characterizing the substrate binding pocket with novel peptide display technology we have developed combined with machine learning and computational modelling, we will work towards developing high-specificity drugs that avoid the common and well-known mechanisms of drug resistance.

PhD Studentship – High dimensional tissue imaging to track genomic selection by immune predation in situ in breast cancer

Deadline: The closing date for applications is 15 November 2020, with interviews expected to take place in December/January.

Dr Raza Ali wishes to appoint a student to work on the project entitled: High dimensional tissue imaging to track genomic selection by immune predation in situ in breast cancer.
For further information about the research group, including their most recent publications, please visit their website: https://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/research-groups/Ali-group

Project description: The repertoire and spatial localisation of tumour infiltrating leukocytes impact breast cancer outcomes (reference 1). Early trials also indicate that some patients with triple-negative breast cancer stand to benefit from immunotherapies (references 2,3). But which patients benefit and what mechanisms underpin resistance are not known. Tumour evolution is driven by ongoing somatic mutation. There is evidence that predation by the immune response selects for fitter genomic clones able to effect immune escape (e.g. by gain of CD274 [PD-L1] (references 4,5)). But when immune selection takes place during the trajectory of disease progression is not known. Similarly, it is not clear whether this process shows spatial variation, which would lead to regional purifying selection with implications for disease dissemination and immunotherapy response. We use high-dimensional imaging (imaging mass cytometry [IMC]) to study the dynamic ecosystems of breast tumours (reference 5). This project will aim to develop these techniques to answer the following: (1) Can genomic clones be reliably identified in situ? (2) Is spatial clonal enrichment explained by the local tumour-immune microenvironment? (3) If so, when during the process of disease progression does immune selection occur? To address these questions, the student will develop highly multiplexed composite RNA/protein IMC assays (reference 6) for application to patient breast tumour tissues, and use sophisticated image analysis techniques and computational biology to arrive at quantitative conclusions.

EPSRC FIBE2 CDT PhD studentship with AVEVA and BP: Digitising Industrial Facilities @ universirty of cambridge , uk

Project Details: There is a growing awareness that industrial facility owners are managing very expensive and complex facilities with data that is too little or too outdated but most of all not integrated. This leads to suboptimal facility design, construction and operation. The Digital Twin concept offers a theoretically viable solution to this problem. However, we currently do not know (i) how to structure an industrial facility Digital Twin or (ii) how to cost-effectively construct and maintain it. This project aims to address these two knowledge gaps.

The Digitising Industrial Facilities project will focus on geometry and visual data of large scale energy assets to maintain feasibility. In this project, the student will: a) collaborate with the FIBE2 Partners and the Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB) to conduct a user requirements analysis for the purpose of deriving a geometric Digital Twin data structure; b) develop a matching method for comparing captured data with the geometric digital twin to construct and maintain it; c) if time allows, develop a data fusion method for linking other forms of data into the geometric digital twin.

DEADLINE : 15TH OCTOBER 2020

CALL FOR PAPERS @ WOMEN AND GENDER IN THE BIBLE AND THE BIBLICAL WORLD II

Submissions will be collected by December 31, 2020,

Open Theology invites submissions for the topical issue “Women and Gender in the Bible and the Biblical World II”, edited by Zanne Domoney-Lyttle and Sarah Nicholson.

ABOUT

This special issue aims to explore, interrogate and reflect on the ways in which women are understood, contextualised and represented in the text of the Bible that has developed, in various ways, a foundational significance for Western culture.

The focus of the issue is on the complex relationships between biblical women and the worlds they inhabit – including the worlds into which they have been relocated through recreation and interpretation – in order to illuminate reframings of, and contested answers to, Simone de Beauvoir’s question: “What is a woman?”

The Chinese University of Hong Kong invites chapters on the topic of Constitutional Law in Greater China to be published by Routledge in late 2022. The deadline to submit a statement of interest (500 word maximum) is October 1, 2020.

The Handbook of Constitutional Law in Greater China aims to provide a comprehensive survey of important issues of constitutional law in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan; and critically discuss leading views on these issues.

We now seek contributors to write Chapters (approx. 6000-8000 words) on any area they believe falls within the ambit of ‘constitutional law in Greater China’. Chapters may be theoretical, historical, empirical, or doctrinal. They may offer comparative insight across two or more of the relevant jurisdictions or focus on a specific issue within a single one. Chapters may consider not just a constitutional text but also quasi- or non-constitutional processes that nonetheless relate to constitutional law in some way. Topics may relate (but are not limited) to historical development, concepts, institutions, processes, interpretation, and rights.

CALL FOR ARTICLES @ FORCED MIGRATION REVIEW

Deadline for submissions: 19th October 2020

ABOUT

When FMR was first launched in 1987 (then called the Refugee Participation Network – RPN – newsletter), the introduction in the first issue said this:

The overall objective of the RPN is to establish a link through which practitioners, researchers and policy makers can communicate and benefit from each other’s practical experience and research results. Those working for host governments, voluntary agencies and international humanitarian agencies acquire invaluable experience but are often too busy to record it; those doing research publish in places and in a style which often make their findings inaccessible or irrelevant to practitioners. The RPN intends to bridge this gap…

AIM AND OBJECTIVE

This objective remains the same today.

Forced Migration Review (FMR) presents concise, accessible articles in a magazine format. Each issue has a feature theme and, usually, a range of general articles on forced migration. FMR is published in English, French, Spanish and Arabic (and occasionally in additional languages), and is available free of charge in print and online.

FMR aims to:

contribute to improving policy and practice for people affected by forced migration
provide a forum for the voices of displaced people
be a bridge between research and practice
raise awareness of lesser-known (or little covered) displacement crises
promote knowledge of, and respect for, legal and quasi-legal instruments relating to refugees, IDPs and stateless people.

FMR supports the interests and information needs of those responding to crises that cause displacement; publicises research that is relevant to these interests and needs; and aims to support learning, training, advocacy, policymaking and research. FMR is neutral and impartial, and is committed to the rights and protection of stateless people and forced migrants of all kinds.

Who reads FMR?
FMR is read in print and online throughout the research and international humanitarian communities and has a majority Southern readership. Each issue of FMR is distributed in over 160 countries to local and international NGOs; UN agencies; Red Cross/Crescent branches; refugee/IDP camps and refugee associations; donor agencies; research and policy institutes; university and college departments; human rights agencies; foreign, interior, health, welfare and other ministries; libraries; the media; and individual members of the public.

How many languages?
We usually publish FMR in four languages: English, Arabic, Spanish and French. Some issues have been printed in additional languages to increase access, and articles from FMR have independently been translated into a variety of other languages.

Editing
FMR is firmly grounded in a world-class academic institution, and is also deeply rooted in policy and practice. The FMR Editors have many years’ experience working in the international humanitarian community, including in the field. They bring to bear their own experience and their location within academia not only in researching FMR themes and developing outreach networks but also in editing FMR articles to be accurate, useful, succinct, relevant and accessible.

As the in-house publication of the Refugee Studies Centre, FMR is a key part of the RSC’s dissemination and outreach activities.

THEME

Mental health and psychosocial support

Due out February 2021

Deadline for submissions: 19th October 2020

Questions about mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) have been written about in FMR at times over the years. This is the first time, however, that we have dedicated a full issue to it – reflecting its relevance in all situations pertaining to displacement and the level of interest in this subject shown by our readers.

People living in displacement may have specific, pre-existing mental health needs. Being displaced may mean disruption in treatment for any such pre-existing disorders, or new challenges to obtaining treatment while on the move or while in a host community. Others experience symptoms of mental ill health that have developed as a result of their displacement or the events that precipitated it. These may relate, for example, to the effects of conflict and loss, or to the consequences of social or financial exclusion in displacement. Uncertainties around status and length of stay, experiences of the asylum process, and the psychological implications of protracted displacement may also negatively affect mental well-being. Some MHPSS needs may have particularly time-bound and developmental importance for certain groups of displaced people, including children and young people.

Refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) may look to various sources of informal, non-clinical social support. However, where difficulties exceed displaced people’s own coping mechanisms and informal support, more specific types of care may be required. In situations of humanitarian emergency and in resource-poor settings the provision of such care may be very limited and will take different forms in different displacement situations – in camp, out of camp, in resettlement or asylum contexts, and for those returning after being displaced. The effects of conflict and of disaster on training facilities, clinics and displacement of staff may contribute to demand for such services vastly outstripping supply.

Where provision is available, displaced people may encounter difficulties in accessing what services are available. These difficulties include lack of awareness of the treatment that is available and their rights to access it; language barriers; lack of mental health literacy; difficulties introduced by culturally specific modes of expressing mental ill health; concerns around stigma; and doubts about confidentiality.

MHPSS provision may be integrated into existing services such as primary health care, education and protection. Highly specialised provision, such as for those who have experienced torture, trafficking or detention, or who are currently in detention, may need to be delivered by separate means. However it is delivered, the effectiveness of care may depend on cooperation between multiple systems. Alternative forms of support may be delivered through non-specialist forms of support, and by strengthening community and family supports. Other interventions may include programming around access to exercise, spiritual or religious fellowship and peer psychological support to address specific needs and promote mental well-being more generally.

There is a need for those working with displaced people to integrate an awarenesss of MHPSS needs into their programming. At the same time, those delivering MHPSS services to a general population need to be aware of specific factors that may affect those who have experienced displacement. Finally, sufficient awareness must be paid to the psychological effects on those delivering humanitarian responses and working with those who have experienced traumatic events. Such trauma-sensitive programming can contribute to improving recognition and treatment of mental ill health, and support psychosocial well-being among displaced people, host communities and those working among them.

This issue of FMR will provide a forum for affected communities, practitioners, advocates, policymakers and researchers to share experience and good practice, debate perspectives and offer recommendations. In particular, the FMR Editors are looking for practice-oriented submissions, reflecting a diverse range of experience and opinions, which address questions such as the following:

What is known about the prevalence and nature of the MHPSS needs of those who have been displaced, and of responses to them? What are the particular challenges to conducting research in some areas and key gaps in knowledge?
How can the effectiveness of support be appropriately assessed in displacement contexts?
Have certain kinds of approaches proved more effective than others in providing appropriate support in situations where there are insufficient resources – infrastructure, personnel or financial – to meet large-scale and/or long-term MHPSS needs?
What barriers are there to integrating basic mental health care into primary health-care settings in emergency contexts where MHPSS provision is otherwise limited or does not exist, and what good practice exists in addressing these barriers?
Are there specific challenges to providing MHPSS for displaced people who are still on the move? What examples exist of good practice in cooperation across regional or country borders?
How can the experience and expertise built up by local communities of practice in the area of mental health inform programming that is executed at a much larger scale?
How do the MHPSS needs of displaced people differ across different settings – in systems of asylum, in resettlement, in integration and in return? What steps can be taken to promote resilience and to enable those who have been displaced to maintain psychosocial well-being, including on their return after displacement?
How effective are community-based means of psychosocial support such as those provided by faith communities? Have community-based models proven more successful in certain contexts, or in meeting specific certain needs over others?
What is the role of cultural mediators in assisting displaced people to access care? Can such mediators be effective in tackling stigma around mental ill-health, including among hard-to-reach groups?
Given that cultural bias (among practitioners, policymakers, researchers and hosts) may create barriers to the effective, appropriate, non-discriminatory identification of need for and provision of MHPSS services, how can this be recognised and mitigated for?
What part do new communication technologies have to play in the identification of needs and delivery of care? What are the settings in which such technologies have proven effective and what forms do these take?
How are existing guidelines and tools such as the IASC Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings and the WHO/UNHCR Assessing Mental Health and Psychosocial Needs and Resources toolkit for humanitarian settings applied across various contexts and how do they shape provision?
What requirements do those designing policy and programming need to take into account in relation to MHPSS service provision for displaced people and for host communities, and what are the challenges emerging from creating parallel structures?
What design and delivery choices must be considered so that MHPSS programming takes into consideration the specific needs of certain groups including children and youth, older people, those living with disabilities and LGBTIQ+ individuals?
Are there examples of effective provision from humanitarian agencies in supporting the psychosocial well-being and MHPSS needs of staff working in situations of displacement and with survivors of displacement?
In what ways has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the provision of MHPSS to displaced people, and how have those providing MHPSS been able to adapt to the challenges presented? What has proven critical to the continuance of the effective delivery of services?

BEFORE WRITING YOUR ARTICLE: If you are interested in contributing, please email the Editors at fmr@qeh.ox.ac.uk with a few sentences about your proposed topic so that we can provide feedback and let you know if we are interested in receiving your submission.

WHEN WRITING/SUBMITTING YOUR ARTICLE: Please take note of our guidelines for authors and ensure your article, when submitted, complies with our submission checklist: details at www.fmreview.org/writing-fmr. We do not accept articles that do not comply with our checklist.

Please note: We ask all authors to give appropriate consideration to the particular relevance of their responses to persons with disabilities, to LGBTIQ+ persons, to older persons, and to other groups with specific vulnerabilities, and to seek to include a gendered approach as part of their articles.

While we are looking for examples of good, replicable practice and experience as well as sound analysis of the issues at stake, we also urge writers to discuss failures and difficulties: what does/did not work so well, and why?

We are particularly keen to reflect the experiences and knowledge of communities and individuals directly affected by these questions. If you have suggestions of colleagues or community representatives who may wish to contribute, please do email us; we are happy to work with individuals to help them develop an article and very keen to have displaced people’s perspectives reflected in the magazine.

Deadline for submission of articles: 19th October 2020

Maximum length: 2,500 words.

call for paper @ Sixteenth International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Oxford Brookes University, Headington Campus Oxford, UK 21–23 July 2021

ABOUT

2021 Special Focus—The Opportunities of Crisis: Resilience and Change in World History

It will be 20 years since the epoch-defining events of September 11, 2001. These actions caused a fracture; the world for a moment was torn apart. But rising out of this terrible devastation also came an incredible outpouring of collaboration, a renewed sense of community, and a dedication to building a better, more peaceful world.

The special focus of the Sixteenth International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences will address issues that have come to the fore in the 21st Century: conflict resolution, humanitarian action, peacebuilding, human rights, and community resilience. As the pressures from the climate emergency, new forms of conflict, rising nationalism, resource scarcity, and campaigns of disinformation continue to grow, we will need to become adept at navigating new social structures and understand a new cultural landscape.

Scholars are invited to contribute papers that will help frame the critical discourses of this era, especially in the face of increasingly insular nationalism, tribal thought, and weaponized narratives. We will be examining issues such as: how to address forced migration and refugee crises during a time of climate displacement; building cultural resilience while maintaining global connectivity; productive communication in a “post-truth” era; how to promote human rights in the face of extremism; understanding how to address acts of symbolic violence and how they impact communities; how to rebuild communities shattered through conflict or disaster; and how to best serve vulnerable groups in emergency settings.

THEME

The Sixteenth International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences features research addressing the following annual themes:

THEME 1: SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY STUDIES
THEME 2: CIVIC AND POLITICAL STUDIES
THEME 3: CULTURAL STUDIES
THEME 4: GLOBAL STUDIES
THEME 5: ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

CALL FOR PAPERS@Transgender Studies Quarterly

ABOUT

Over the past two decades, transgender studies has become fertile ground for new approaches to cultural analysis. TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly offers a high-profile venue for innovative research and scholarship that contest the objectification, pathologization, and exoticization of transgender lives. It publishes interdisciplinary work that explores the diversity of gender, sex, sexuality, embodiment, and identity in ways that have not been adequately addressed by feminist and queer scholarship.

MISSION

Its mission is to foster a vigorous conversation among scholars, artists, activists, and others that examines how “transgender” comes into play as a category, a process, a social assemblage, an increasingly intelligible gender identity, an identifiable threat to gender normativity, and a rubric for understanding the variability and contingency of gender across time, space, and cultures.

TOPICS

Major topics addressed in the first few issues include the cultural production of trans communities, critical analysis of transgender population studies, transgender biopolitics, radical critiques of political economy, and problems of translating gender concepts and practices across linguistic communities.

Transgender Studies Quarterly (TSQ) is inviting submissions for two upcoming issues.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

The submission deadline for the General Issue, TSQ 8.3, is September 30, 2020. The submission deadline for the Transvestite/Transsexual Issue, TSQ 8.4, is October 1, 2020.

CALL FOR PAPERS @ Behaviour & Information Technology, Special Issue

Article Submission Deadline: January 15, 2021

ABOUT

XR in the Era of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic forced many countries worldwide to take restrictive measures from shutting borders and canceling public gatherings, to controlling citizens’ movement and in many cases closing down big parts of the business and academic sector. These isolation measures rapidly changed human behavior in regards to conducting business, attending events and meetings, communicating, socializing and even entertaining themselves.

Subsequently, self-isolating individuals and groups explored new technologies and methods to accommodate their needs. Innovative technologies as Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MR) or as unified referred eXtended Reality (XR) have reportedly been utilized to assist this change. Virtual conferences, workspaces and meeting rooms have been increasingly populated during this period. There, participants with the use of avatars gather to conduct business, research and socialize. Additionally, MR solutions assisted remote cooperation and minimized physical human interaction in areas like training, education, manufacturing, rehabilitation and healthcare services. Whereas, virtual social meeting spaces have seen an upsurge in avatar creation and users interaction.

AIM

The aim of this special issue is to present high quality, original papers exposing eXtended Reality (XR) use cases, established and innovative solutions and research, attributed to this global phenomenon.

We aim to make publishing with Taylor & Francis a rewarding experience for all our authors. Please visit our Author Services website for more information and guidance, and do contact us if there is anything we can help with!

THEME

Special issue title – XR in the Era of COVID-19 Pandemic

Possible topics include (but are not limited to):

XR-based virtual conferencing and business meetings,
Training and educational XR applications,
XR utilization in the maintenance, manufacturing and service sector to aid social-distancing,
Remote assistance, rehabilitation and healthcare services with the use of immersive technologies,
Immersive serious games and exergames to combat COVID-19 pandemic,
Virtual tourism,
Remote human-subject in XR studies, ethics, and innovative methods.
