The Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation is inviting those working in the social sciences and humanities in Caulfield to its inaugural 2021 conference aimed at exploring the possibilities of recovery and repair in a post-COVID-19 world.
Led by UNESCO Chair for Comparative Research on Cultural Diversity and Social Justice Professor Fethi Mansouri, the Alfred Deakin Institute includes researchers from a wide variety of academic disciplines who work together to explore and understand the complex social issues surrounding global processes.
The theme for the conference is “Recovery, reconfiguration, and repair: Mobilising the social sciences and humanities for a post-pandemic world”, and it will feature panels and roundtables with some of the leading names in the humanities and social sciences.
Keynote presenters include anthropologist Professor Janet Roitman, University of New South Wales’ Professor Deborah Lupton and the Australian National University’s Associate Professor Katerina Teaiwa, just to name a few. Organisations and academic institutions organising international conferences such as this can benefit greatly from accessing professional printing services to assist in the preparation of conference materials for attendees.
Panels throughout the two-day event will focus on various themes including the politics of life after COVID, exploring ethical challenges, the notion of truth-telling and understanding care concerning migrant communities and their digital lifestyles.
The Alfred Deakin Institute’s inaugural 2021 conference is scheduled to run from Thursday, 11th November to Friday, 12th November at Deakin University. More information and bookings can be made online.
