Deadline: 15 November 2013
Open to: researchers from different disciplines, as well as practitioners
Venue: 10-12 April 2014 in Istanbul, Turkey
Description
Dating back to early 20th century, philanthropic organizations and volunteering initiatives, acting as the “third sector,” have played an active role in the resolution of a variety of societal problems ranging from meeting basic human needs to reducing social and economic inequalities at the local as well as global level.
The International Conference on Philanthropy and Peacebuilding, organized by the Journalists and Writers Foundation (JWF) and Kimse Yok Mu (KYM) for 10-12 April 2014 in Istanbul, Turkey, particularly aims to analyze the actual and potential role of philanthropy as an agent in conflict resolution processes, building inter-personal and inter-communal trust. Alongside its aim to address critical assessments, the conference will particularly focus on the multi-dimensional characteristics of philanthropy to foster its effectiveness in terms of comprehensiveness and consistency by questioning who “gives,” as well as what, how, when, and where this civic engagement is realized.
In line with the aforementioned aims, the organizers invite theoretical contributions as well as empirical studies from diverse disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives. The conference organizers welcome contributions on a variety of topics including, but not limited to:
- Conflict resolution and philanthropy
- Philanthropy in interpersonal and intercommunal trust building
- Cultural values and philanthropic practices
- Emerging trends in philanthropy (digital, celebrity, royal etc.)
- Corporate social responsibility in philanthropy and peacebuilding
- Gender and philanthropy
- Philanthropy ethics
- Challenges and critical approaches to philanthropy
- International cooperation and humanitarianism
- Altruism vs. bystander effect in philanthropy and peacebuilding
- Transnational civil society in peacebuilding
