                          One Size Fits All?

                Contemporary Challenges of Integration
                          and Fragmentation

           University of Manchester, Faculty of Humanities,
                     Multidisciplinary Conference
                       June 16th and 17th, 2005


Integration and Fragmentation affect every aspect of contemporary life and
academic activity. Are our worlds of communication, business, law, art and
community, being integrated or increasingly fragmented and resisted? Is the
idea of integration marked by conflict and contradiction? What kinds of
activities are integrating, which are fragmenting; and what manner of
strategies might bring these issues together? These are some of the 
vital and
ambitious questions this conference seeks to explore.


                Is it possible that: One size fits all?

This conference aims to bring together scholars, professionals and
postgraduate researchers to explore the issues of integration and
fragmentation in a multi-disciplinary forum.  Critical reflections and/or
cases study materials could include, but are by no means restricted to the
following themes:

.   Development
.   Knowledge
.   Technology
.   Harmonisation
.   Identity
.   Communication
.   Societies and Organisations.
