What to expect

This conference is an opportunity to pause and reflect on the fast-changing path of our social world. This gathering is about more than sharing academic knowledge. It is also about awakening using the tools of science, research, and reflection to ask what must be done collectively. Critiques are welcome, as are solutions.

The conference won't be limited to mere academic analyses, as it ought to address current issues to reach a shared plan of action 

Submissions from all disciplines are welcome including: Anthropology, Humanities, Social sciences, Political science, Legal studies, International relations, Psychology, Philosophy, Communication, Journalism, Management, Business, and Economic studies.

• Migration and the politics of belonging
• Populism and political fragmentation
• Social psychological aspects of change and resistance
• Postcolonial and decolonial approaches to justice and recognition
• Legal and institutional responses to crisis
• The role of media and communication in shaping public life
• International relations in an age of instability
• Economic, managerial, and interdisciplinary approaches to transformation
