Call for Papers: Between Conflict and Accommodation? Christian-Democracy and the Rise of “new social movements” 1960s-1990s
From 7-10 June, KADOC-KU Leuven in Leuven (Belgium) will organize the conference 'Between Conflict and Accommodation? Christian-Democracy and the Rise of “new social movements” 1960s-1990s', an initiative of CIVITAS-Forum of Archives and Research on Christian-Democracy.
The aim of this conference is to analyze the relation, conflicts and exchanges, between Christian-democracy and the so-called “new social movements” from the 1960s until the early 1990s. It wants
to adopt a reciprocal perspective, looking at the ways in which Christian-Democratic parties and related movements reacted in response to the emergence and development of these movements from the 1960s onwards, and, inversely, at the ways in which these “new social movements” were interconnected, in real and imagined terms, to Christian-Democracy. The geographical scope is not limited to Western Europe, but also includes other regions, most notably Latin America.
We kindly invite interested scholars to send a proposal of max. 500 words (including an abstract and title) before the 15th of February 2023.
