CALL FOR PAPERS
The Minorities of Cyprus: Past, Present and Future
24 & 25 November 2007
Cyprus College , Nicosia

Cyprus College invites submissions for the conference entitled "The
Minorities of Cyprus: Past, Present and Future". The conference will focus
on the Maronite, Armenian and Latin minorities, however the organisers
welcome presentations on other minorities in Cyprus. The objective is to
facilitate an exchange of research relating to the place of minorities in
Cyprus' past since 1571 (Ottoman, British and Independence periods). We
welcome proposals dealing with any aspect of the experience of minorities
in Cyprus, including the literary and artistic, for the relevant historical
period. We will consider most favourable those proposals that seek to
consider broader and comparative frameworks.

The conference organisers have secured the participation of Professor
Panicos Panayi, De Montfort University and Dr Colin Heywood, University of
Hull as keynote speakers. Assistant Professor Zelia Gregoriou, University
of Cyprus, will give a special presentation and Professor Costas M.
Constantinou, Keele University, will chair a panel of the three
parliamentary representatives of the minorities.

The conference will be held over the weekend of 24-25 November. Those
interested should submit 150-word abstracts and a short biography by 5
October. The organising committee will reply by 10 October. Please note
that the organising committee cannot fund people coming from overseas, but
will organise for discounted accommodation at the Europa Hotel, which is
walking distance from Cyprus College.
