Proposals:
A 250-word abstract of proposed papers, along with brief curriculum vitae, must be submitted electronically
(preferably in Word or Rich Text format) by 31 December 2008 to the Organizing Committee care of
Professor Khalid Amine (President of ICPS and Conference Convener). Selected conference papers will be published
in a special volume.
The conference is also a home for graduate students and emerging scholars from different parts of the world. The
establishment of an emerging Scholars’ panel invites new voices to join the debate. Up to three participants will
be selected for this panel, and each panelist will have fifteen minutes to deliver her/his paper. Graduate students
whose papers are accepted will receive free conference registration, free admission to conference luncheon, and a
one-year membership in ICPS. To be considered for this panel, please submit your 10-12-page paper by
January 15th 2009 to Pr Khalid Amine. Since the conference is again pulling a very international public,
registered attendees will be welcome too.
Registration Fee:
$100 payable upon arrival. It includes 2 Receptions, conference pack, tickets for public concerts and site-specific
performances, free guided tour of the medina, and the book of published proceedings from the previous
conference.
