XV International Conference on Civilising Processes: The Legacy of Norbert Elias.

Mexico City, 3–7 November 2014

Organising the conference took more than a year of hard work. The call for and some of us plan to meet in the next Conference that will be held in Brazil in 2016.

I want to thank sincerely all the academics and students who attended. The Conference was possible due to the work of Monica Guitian (head of the Centro de Estudios Interdisciplinarios en Teoria Social), who worked on the organisation of the event with the support or Elena Oros and Alejandra González Bazua and a group of enthusiastic students I also appreciate the co-operation of the Dean of the Political Sciences School of the UNAM, Fernando Castañeda, who gave his academic and generous financial support to the conference. Thanks also to the Norbert Elias Foundation for its interest in our work and for financially supporting Cas Wouters’s air ticket,and to Ademir Gebara and the Latin American Civilisational Group for their confidence in the Mexican organising committee and the opportunity they gave us when they proposed UNAM Mexico as the venue.
