Tocqueville Conference:

The Challenges of American Society: The Great Themes of Alexis de Tocqueville, May 2-3, 2008.

Papers need not address Tocqueville expressly, as the theme is sufficiently broad - "challenges of American society." Nonetheless, reference to Tocqueville's Democracy in America would be useful and enlightening.

Address abstracts to GSC@CGU.EDU.  Lable "Tocqueville" in the 'subject' line, please.

Due to overpowering demand, abstract submissions, not to exceed 250 words, are due March 21.

-----------------------------------

This radical and provocative Conference signifies the belief that each of the Schools here at CGU are real Training Grounds for addressing modern Challenges in American Society.

This Transdisciplinary Student Conference also signifies our efforts at providing a venue in which the edges of our disciplines might be explored, tested, and laid open for scrutiny.  Each student's perspective, and each discipline's arcane knowledges, are now to be combined and enlarged, no longer to be isolated and stereotyped.

Submit your big ideas.  Let others apply their criticisms and insight to what you, as an organic intellectual with a vested interest in transformations of one sort or other, have to say about our modern American and Societal Challenges. 

Bring your friends and allies.  Meet other's friends and allies.  Join them or battle honorably, but do something.

This call goes out to Botany, IT/IS, Math, and Religion.

This call goes out to Applied Women's Studies, Politics, Economics, and Drucker.

This call goes out to Education, SBOS, and Art.

This call goes out to Keck, Philosophy, Public Policy.

This call goes out to the whole of Claremont Graduate University, in the hope that each of the designators mentioned above might in some ways be conjoined. 

As Alexis de Tocqueville did before, approach your big issue by adopting a broad and transdisciplinary perspective.  While Tocqueville provides an example, feel free to provide your own.

Please make this Conference your Conference; make it a success!
