From me to we or from we to me? Tensions of social identity and change across cultures

Abstract

The main theme of the conference is “The challenges of working with diversity in social systems”. With the general demographic trends and the challenges raised by the multiple (simultaneous) transitions faced by society today, diversity is a key topic on the research agendas in Social Sciences. We strive to harness the benefits of diversity in solving difficult societal and environmental issues and at the same time we try to find solutions to the problems associated with diversity (e.g., conflict, marginalization, exclusion).
