The Centre for Ethnicity and Citizenship at the University of Bristol is hosting "The Politics of Misrecognition: An Interdisciplinary Conference" on 22-23 January 2010.

Keynote  speakers include Axel Honneth, Michel Seymour and Melissa Williams.  What is 'misrecognition' and why does it matter?  This conference  aims to explore this question, and to consider how the idea of misrecognition can help us understand the interaction and political  orientations of different cultures, social movements and state policies. Conference organizers are Wendy Martineau (University of Bristol), Nasar Meer (University of Southampton) and Simon Thompson (University of the West of England, Bristol).
