Subject: Call for Papers

A Joint Center for International Studies Conference at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee

Between the Global and the Local: Making Human Rights Claims in the 20th
Century

April 28-29, 2000

This conference aims to bring into dialogue scholars whose work explores
the making of rights claims throughout the century from a variety of
disciplinary and geographic perspectives.  We are seeking proposals for
papers that deal with one of the following themes in any area of the
world: citizenship and rights claims, colonialism and human rights, truth
commissions and the making of truth claims, social movements and human
rights and the representation of rights claims in art, photography, film
and television.  Among the disciplines we hope to have represented are
anthropology, history, philosophy, political science, sociology,
literature, film studies, and mass communication.  Our hope is that the
conversations we have over the two days of the conference will be as
important as the individual presentation of papers.

Prospective participants should send a one page, typed paper proposal and
a brief CV by December 1, 1999. Each proposal should crealy indicate the
contact address, telephone number, email address, and FAX number of the
respondent.
