[Angela Jancius]

Call for Research Proposals for the 2005 edition of the
 Cortona Colloquia - "A Multi-Voiced Dialogue on Global Society",

to be held on 20-21 August 2005 in Cortona, Italy

The Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, one of Europe's most important
documentation and research centers devoted to the social sciences, history,
political and social economics, and the study of modern societies, and the
University of Pavia, in association with the Human Development and
Capability Association (HDCA), an academic forum that promotes high quality
research in the interconnected areas of human development and capability
across a broad range of topics including the quality of life, poverty,
justice, gender, development, and the environment invites PhD students
working within the capability approach (CA)
on the themes of global economy, global justice, global law and human
rights, global culture, global sustainable development, and global society
to participate in the 2005 Colloquium - "A Multi-Voiced Dialogue on Global
Society".

Professor Amartya Sen, Nobel Laureate in Economics (1998) and president of
the HDCA, will be keynote speaker at this event, which will be held in
Cortona, a beautiful medieval city in Tuscany close to Arezzo, Siena, and
Perugia.  Other prominent scholars working in these fields of research are
also expected to participate.

A limited number of PhD students (10-15) will be invited to attend the
two-day colloquium.  Those selected to participate will be given the
opportunity to present their research projects, or a specific part of their
research, within special workshops to be held on Sunday 21st August.  The
workshops will be chaired by prominent scholars from these fields of
research.  The working language will be English.

The organizers of the Colloquium will cover accommodation costs (3-night
stay) for the students invited to attend, as well as providing a lump-sum
contribution that should be sufficient to cover a low-fare round-trip ticket
within Europe.  PhD students interested in participating must submit their
research proposal (using the Application Form attached) no later than 15
April 2005 (NB: earlier submissions are welcome).  A Committee will select
the proposals and send notice of acceptance to those students invited to
attend by 30 May 2005.  Application forms should be sent to Enrica Chiappero
Martinetti, University of Pavia, Italy at enrica.chiappero at unipv.it
