Goethe University Frankfurt, Red INVECA (the network of Chilean researchers in Germany) and the Centre for Social Conflict and Cohesion Studies (COES) invite sub-missions for the academic workshop “The analysis of social and environmental conflicts in Chile”.
The main goal is to bring together researchers from different disciplines (anthropology, economics, history, political science, sociology, etc.) to present and discuss original studies. Research on all related topics are welcomed, but the main focus will be on quantitative and qualitative analysis on:
- The Mapuche conflict
- New social movements
- The impact of natural resources exploitation on local communities
- New data for conflict measurement.
The workshop will take place on the 28th and 29th of September at Goethe University Frankfurt, Campus Westend. Beside the presentations, there will be keynote speakers and a special session to present the Mapuche Data Project (MDP) and the Mapuche Conflict Events Database (MACEDA).
