CALL FOR PAPERS

Thaap Conference - 2015

PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF PAKISTAN
Dates: Nov 6, 7 and 8, 2015

The somewhat insecure state of Pakistan reacts with suspicion and repression to any deviation from the official narrative, which time and again has proven to be insufficient, selective and even inaccurate. The variety of cultures and people of Pakistan just cannot be fitted into one mold. They all have their own genuine worldviews and aspirations which are as valid as any.

Thaap Conference – 2015, with the theme ‘People's History of Pakistan’, invites scholars from all parts of Pakistan and the World to illustrate the wonderful variety that makes Humanity and the country Pakistan.

Understanding ourselves, our neighbors, and our neighbors’ neighbors is the only sure means of promoting harmony and tolerance. The best way to learn is to learn from each other.

Email us a 300-word abstract of your proposed paper by APRIL 15, 2015 at thaap.conference@gmail.com. A confirmation email will be sent to you when we receive your abstract. If you do not get the confirmation email within a week of sending your abstract, please assume that we have not received your abstract and send us the abstract again.
