We invite submissions from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds in the humanities and social sciences (including, but not limited to, Politics, Law, Social Anthropology, Architecture, Sociology, Education and Cultural Studies) that engage with the broad topic of this second workshop. (Should you wish to participate in the workshop without giving a paper, please do not submit at this stage – there will be a registration closer to the date.)
If you would like to give a paper at this workshop, please include an abstract on the application form (maximum 500 words):

The deadline for applications is December 5, 2023.
NOTE: The submission deadline has now passed. We will announce the full programme soon!
Funding
Should you require funding to attend the event, please indicate the reasons and the likely costs of your attendance in the form. We have limited funds, so will need to make a selection based on both merit and needs. Our primary goal is to enable Early Career Academics and those without secure employment to participate.
