International Society for the Comparative Study of Civilizations
40th ISCSC Conference
June 15-17, 2010
Brigham Young University – Provo, Utah
Your Invitation to the 2010 Conference in Provo, Utah
By Michael Andregg
As program chair for the 40th annual conference of the International Society for the Comparative Study of Civilizations I want to welcome the world to beautiful Provo, Utah and to the flagship campus of the Mormon community there, Brigham Young University. We have met at many attractive places on this earth including the Hermitage in St. Petersburg Russia, Reitaku U in Japan, at the Ecole's in Paris, Dublin Ireland, Jamaica, St. John Canada and at many other excellent venues. But few can rival the Wasatch Mountains with the clear spring water of the Rockies all about for natural beauty. We will be discussing perennial issues that have occupied civilizationalists for a long time: just what constitute civilizations, how they are distinct from nations and empires, what role religions play, whether civilizational encounters and transformations are necessarily traumatic, and whether ours is in exceptional trouble or not.
But our main theme this year will be an unusual one: "Civilizational Futures". Therefore we invite the world of scholars and deep thinkers to consider submitting an abstract of a paper to our program committee, and possibly coming to a great university in Central Utah, USA, next June 15 - 17 (2010) to think with us about civilizations past, presently clashing and transforming, and possibly getting some glimpses of their futures to come.
Position papers - 6 pages
Research paper - 12 pages
Research in process - 1 page

Note from Local Arrangements Chair, Connie Lamb
As the local arrangements chair, it is a pleasure for me to invite you to participate in the 40th ISCSC Conference to be held in Provo, Utah. The meetings will be in the Conference Center on the campus of Brigham Young University, set at the base of beautiful, rugged mountains. Attendees will stay at nearby hotels – a modest walk from the campus. The programs are always informative and the meeting provides a great opportunity to visit with colleagues. Also, there is much to see on campus and the surrounding city and area. I hope you will join with us next June (15-17) for an exciting and enjoyable time. More details about the arrangements will be added as they are finalized.
