international symposium on multiculturalism

Crop multiculturalism to the realities of the Twenty-first century

Monday, November 21 to Tuesday November 22, 2011
University of Ottawa, Canada

The citizens of nations multicultural often find it difficult to realize and establish an identity that connects to both their complex past with the unique character of their multiple cultural links, as well as their membership (trans)national. In fact, in many cases, multiculturalism, as a political structure based on the institutionalization of social justice and social equality in many countries, is called into question, not only because the policies of equality and social justice have not been able to establish their main objectives, but because the ideal of such a policy must not neglect the human capacity to resist, to negotiate or to embrace.

The audiovisual media Laboratory for the study of cultures and societies ( University of Ottawa ), and the Centre for Citizenship and Globalization (Deakin University, Australia) organized an international Symposium on the theme of multiculturalism at the University of Ottawa on November 21 and 22, 2011 .

The next international workshop on multiculturalism following the symposium, which took place in November 2010 at Deakin University (Australia). The aim of this edition is to highlight the "challenges" and the "cropping" of the multiculturalismes to the realities and the global knowledge economy of the Twenty-first century, with participants and speakers confirmed in Canada, Colombia, Uruguay, Australia, New Zealand, France, the netherlands, Croatia, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
