The International Cultural Research Network Congress
June 28 - July 3 2000
The International Cultural Research Network (ICRN) was established at the
University of Alberta in 1998 and has several hundred members who share,
collaborate and publish their work in an atmosphere of academic friendship.
The ICRN also holds biennial congresses.
The ICRN Congress requests multi-disciplinary papers or ideas for
presentation at Xi'an, China from June 28 to July 3, 2000. You do not have
to be a member of the ICRN to be accepted for presentation and publication.
However, you must be a member in order to be published in the conference publication.
The focus of the Congress will be on exploring cultural perspectives of the
following themes:
Childhood and Youth
Education
Health and Welfare
Language and Literacy
Technology
Papers will be published in a CD-ROM format that will be made available at
the Congress. The Network requests submissions from all interested persons, from all disciplines, to submit abstracts by October 15, 1999.
