  4. Call for Papers Conference: The “Others” amongst “Us” University of Leiden
    The conference ‘The “Others” amongst “Us”: Thoughts on Western Societies, Otherness, and the Law’ will take place on Friday 8 December and Saturday 9 December 2017 at the University of Leiden, The Netherlands.Looking at the area of immigration, the conference will focus on the Law and how it relates to social divides. Underlying is the notion that minorities at large and immigrants in particular tend to be conceived of as ‘others’ in society, which naturally raises questions on the construction and effect of ‘otherness’ in ‘our’ Western societies. There are many ways how ‘otherness’ could be approached. Likewise, there are as many ways as one could describe the society which characterizes the ‘other’.
