The Council for European Studies (CES) calls for proposals for its 22nd International Conference of Europeanists, taking place on July 8-10, 2015 at Sciences Po in Paris, France. This time, the conference is organized around the theme " Contradictions: Envisioning European Futures ."

In many historical moments, Europe’s futures have seemed not simply open and uncertain, but replete with contradiction. Similarly, in contemporary Europe, the responses of both ordinary Europeans and the continent’s collective institutions to the challenges posed by crisis again constitute a series of contradictions—many of which reiterate large questions from Europe’s past, while also affecting the ability of social forces to imagine possible futures.

Thus, for its 2015 conference, the CES invites proposals for panels, roundtables, book discussions, and individual papers that examine such opposing tendencies and, facing forward, consider the many potential futures emerging from the European crisis. We encourage proposals in the widest range of disciplines, and, in particular, proposals that combine disciplines, nationalities, and generations. Although it is not mandatory that papers be related to the conference theme, papers that do so are especially welcome.

Proposals may be submitted from August 18 to October 10, 2014.
