CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Corruption and Anticorruption in Brazil & China
The Brazil and Lau China Institutes are seeking submissions for the Education 4 Justice (E4J) Brazil and China Conference.
The King's Brazil Institute and the Lau China Institute of King’s College London are inviting junior academics based in Brazilian and Chinese universities who research and teach corruption-related subjects to a conference funded by the UNDOC’s Education for Justice (E4J) initiative.
The ‘E4J Brazil and China’ (E4J-BC) Conference will be held virtually on 15-19 March 2021.
The overall goal is to disseminate the best research and teaching practices in Brazil and China on an international level. We aim to:
a) democratise global corruption and anti-corruption studies curriculum by bringing perspectives from two key emerging powers, Brazil and China; and
b) create networks and synergies for future research and teaching collaboration.
Given travel restrictions and social distancing due to the pandemic and the 11-hour time difference between Brazil and China, the conference will take place online, with a combination of asynchronous and synchronous elements.
All paper presenters will receive a 300 USD book voucher.
The conference will include:
- Live sessions with keynote speakers on corruption and anticorruption topics
- Live Q&A sessions (synchronous) to discuss the participants’ pre-recorded videos (15 minutes) presenting their respective papers (asynchronous)
- Live sessions on teaching (anti-) corruption using the E4J tools and material
