IMMIGRATION, MINORITIES AND MULTICULTURALISM IN DEMOCRACIES

Conference program

Dear Colleagues:

Welcome to Montréal and to the Immigration, Minorities, and Multiculturalism in Democracies Conference. It is a distinct pleasure to welcome you to a city that so richly manifests the very core themes of our conference. The aim of the conference is to explore empirical, normative, and policy-relevant questions relating to inter-group relations in multiethnic societies, both Western and non-Western, and from diverse disciplinary perspectives. A program committee that represents a variety of disciplines has organized an exceptional conference around this theme.

We are expecting close to 200 participants and attendees from over twenty countries, including Canada, Ethiopia, France, Ghana, India, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Senegal, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, UK, and the USA. In addition to scholars from academic institutions, we have many representatives from interested NGOs and partner organizations. Our program highlights include invited speakers, roundtables, and plenary sessions that resonate with the interdisciplinary aspect of the conference’s theme. Be sure to check the schedule for events you do not want to miss!

One of the main purposes of this conference is to offer attendees the opportunity to interact with colleagues with similar scholarly interests. We encourage you to take advantage of the welcome reception and the other organized events to start connecting. Please also visit our book display where recent works of participants are being exhibited.

Thank you for being here. We wish you a pleasant and fulfilling meeting.

Dear Colleagues,

The Ethnicity and Democratic Governance Project is a Canadian-based 5-year international major collaborative research program sponsored by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council. Based at Queen’s University, with the active collaboration of the University of Toronto and the Université de Québec à Montréal, it addresses one of the most complex, challenging and universally confronted issues of the world today ---the democratic governance of ethnically diverse societies in a world of unprecedented global movement of peoples. Through an intensive process of research and consultation involving an international team of some 37 scholars and more than 100 graduate students representing six disciplines from more than 20 universities in nine countries; in constant exchange with government policy makers, civil society partner organizations and citizens; the project aims to develop both innovative academic analysis and practical policies and strategies that citizens, governments and international organizations can learn from as they confront the opportunities, conflicts and tensions of increasingly ethno- culturally diverse and cosmopolitan societies.

The concept of the Conference on Immigrants, Minorities and Multi-Culturalism in Democracies emerged out of the first year of the EDG program. It is made possible by a grant from the Dominion of Canada Insurance Company to the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University for the sponsorship of meetings addressing the issues of social diversity, and by the generous support towards parts of the program from Rights and Democracy, the International Development Research Centre, the Department of Canadian Heritage of the Government of Canada, and the Forum of Federations.

As director of the SSHRC MCRI EDG project I am proud to welcome you to our first international conference. We hope the conference will serve as a forum promoting the exchange of ideas and interaction between the international community of scholars, policy-makers and non- governmental organizations addressing these important issues.

Warm regards and best wishes,

PRESENTS:

Conference dinner with Keynote Speaker Will Kymlicka: Multicultural Odysseys: Dilemmas in the Global Diffusion of Multiculturalism

Drawing on some of his own experiences in the field, Will Kymlicka discusses the potential and pitfalls accom- panying the process of globalizing multiculturalism. Kymlicka explains why multicultural success stories in Canada and elsewhere are difficult to replicate or dif- fuse, making the task of formulating international stan- dards of minority rights very difficult. This requires us to rethink how Canada can best contribute to international debates on issues of diversity.

Will Kymlicka is the Canada Research Chair in Political Philosophy at Queen's University, and a visiting profes- sor in the Nationalism Studies program at the Central European University in Budapest. A member of the Royal Society of Canada, he received the 2004 Killam Prize and in 2005 was named a Trudeau Foundation Fellow.

Translated into 30 languages, Kymlicka’s edited vol- umes and books focus on issues of citizenship in multi- ethnic democratic societies and with the challenges of nationalism and multiculturalism. He is the author of six books published by Oxford University Press (OUP) in- cluding: Multicultural Citizenship (1995), which was awarded the Macpherson Prize by the Canadian Politi- cal Science Assocation, and the Bunche Award by the American Political Science Association; and Multicultural Odysseys: Navigating the New International Politics of Diversity (2007). Most recently, Kymlicka co-edited with William M. Sullivan The Globalization of Ethics: Reli- gious and Secular Perspectives (Cambridge UP, 2007).
