UPCOMING EVENT
04. ANNUAL BAGSS CONFERENCE
ON "CHALLENGES FOR DIVERSE SOCIETIES"
20 - 21 September, 2017
One key characteristic of today’s societies is their diversity: People with different cultural, ethnical, socioeconomic, educational, occupational, political, religious, and demographic backgrounds meet and interact – sometimes voluntarily, sometimes because they have to. But diversity can also provide challenges for the society as a whole, for groups, and for individuals. Therefore, diverse societies and the challenges they face can be viewed as one of the defining issues that cuts across all social science disciplines.
