Call for papers
The Intercultural Connections Southampton Conference is the first major event taking place as part of the Intercultural Connections Southampton project which started in autumn 2014. This project, funded by the university’s Education Enhancement Fund, aims to create a greater awareness of the range and potential of intercultural activities in order to develop a more rounded profile for Southampton as an International University.
The conference will be a mixture of traditional presentations, workshops, demonstrations, interactive discussions and panels. We welcome papers from all students and staff, both Professional Services and academic staff.
The purpose of this conference is to provide opportunities for:
- students and staff to share intercultural and international experiences and research at the university both inside and outside the classroom
- develop new ideas to improve intercultural and international experiences for all
- networking and forming collaborations across the university.
