Those interested in applying may email the full text of their proposed presentation and a short C.V. to Valérie Nowaczyk at shifting.conference@iast.fr with the words “Shifting Attitudes” in the subject heading. Proposals must be received by Feb. 28, though earlier submissions are encouraged.
Robert Barsky, professor of French and comparative literature at Vanderbilt and a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Studies in 2012-13, co-hosted a “Shifting Attitudes” conference last June that explored changing attitudes from an array of perspectives in relation to the 2008 global financial crisis. Ed Rubin, University Professor of Law and Political Science and former dean of Vanderbilt Law School, served as a featured speaker at the event.
