Fear: Interdisciplinary Perspectives

Fear
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Modern Living

Saturday 13th April 2019 to Sunday 14th April 2019
Bruges, Belgium

On a daily basis, alarmist news headlines trumpet details of impending doom and unfolding disasters. There are near-constant warnings about high-profile threats such as climate change, international terrorism, the rise of the far right, weapons of mass destruction, financial crisis, pandemics, hospital acquired infections, human trafficking and child sexual exploitation. The more banal aspects of existence also appear fraught with danger: sun exposure, breastfeeding, fitness, screen time... the list goes on. Everything from the air we breathe (diesel particulates) to the foods we eat (carcinogenic, genetically modified) may be viewed with suspicion. But what purpose does this culture of fear actually serve?

As we venture further into the 21st Century, a sense of fear and feelings of anxiousness seem to betray a widespread public sense of moral uncertainty, powerlessness, helplessness, hopelessness and resignation. In particularly challenging times, a well-rehearsed, quickly recognisable and loudly proclaimed 'narrative of fear' can offer a paradoxically reassuring means of understanding and responding to threat, whether real or imagined. The culture of fear does not arise independently; it is born of multiple social, cultural, religious and historical influences and those same influences determine how individuals respond to fear and anxiety.
This inclusive interdisciplinary conference aims to interrogate those influences and responses, and consider the agendas which may be driving a culture of fear. Are we living in end times? Are we right to be concerned? Or does fear have a strategic purpose? Are the biological advantages of fear (fight or flight) being undermined by cynical marketing ploys (buy rape alarms, padlocks, guns), political imperatives (leave the EU, build a wall, send them home) or ideological stances (misogyny, racism, religious hatred)? Does living in a perpetually heightened state of fear make action impossible? Where will it all end?

Against this backdrop, we will seek to explore the subject of fear from the full range of disciplinary, professional, vocational, practitioner and social perspectives with a view to forming a publication to engender further collaboration and discussion. The aim is to generate an inclusive dialogue involving researchers, practitioners, artists, activists, legal professionals, marketers, clinicians, social workers, volunteers, journalists, performers, policy makers and others with an interest in the field. Topics for discussion include, but are not restricted to:

The politics and economics of fear:
the far right/loony left; neoliberalism; corruption; espionage; Brexit; financial crisis; austerity

Fear and violence:
terrorism; serial killers; murder; assault; GBH; war; civil war, social unrest; protest; WMD; nuclear proliferation; assault; dirty bombs; biological weapons; school shooters; gun control

Fear and the body:
contagion; vaccines; sexuality; mental illness; trauma; body modifications

Fear and the environment:
climate change/global warming/extreme weather events; fracking; pollution; sustainability; food crises; water accessibility

Fight or flight:
panic; attack; stress; inaction; safe spaces/no platform/trigger warnings; anxiety

What's so Special About Progressive Connexions Events?
A fresh, friendly, dynamic format – at Progressive Connexions we are dedicated to breaking away from the stuffy, old-fashion conference formats, where endless presentations are read aloud off PowerPoints. We work to bring you an interactive format, where exchange of experience and information is alternated with captivating workshops, engaging debates and round tables, time set aside for getting to know each other and for discussing common future projects and initiatives, all in a warm, relaxed, egalitarian atmosphere.

A chance to network with international professionals – the beauty of our interdisciplinary events is that they bring together professionals from all over the world and from various fields of activity, all joined together by a shared passion. Not only will the exchange of experience, knowledge and stories be extremely valuable in itself, but we seek to create lasting, ever-growing communities around our projects, which will become a valuable resource for those belonging to them.

A chance to be part of constructing change – There is only one thing we love as much as promoting knowledge: promoting real, lasting social change by encouraging our participants to take collective action, under whichever form is most suited to their needs and expertise (policy proposals, measuring instruments, research projects, educational materials, etc.) We will support all such actions in the aftermath of the event as well, providing a platform for further discussions, advice from the experts on our Project Advisory Team and various other tools and intellectual resources, as needed.

An opportunity to discuss things that matter to you – Our events are not only about discussing how things work in the respective field, but also about how people work in that field – what are the struggles, problems and solutions professionals have found in their line of work, what are the areas where better communication among specialists is needed and how the interdisciplinary approach can help bridge those gaps and help provide answers to questions from specific areas of activity.

An unforgettable experience – When participating in a Progressive Connexions event, there is a good chance you will make some long-time friends. Our group sizes are intimate, our venues are comfortable and relaxing and our event locations are suited to the history and culture of the event.

Travel, Movement and (Im)Mobilities

Travel, Movement and (Im)Mobilities
An Inclusive Interdisciplinary Conference

Saturday 13th April 2019 - Sunday 14th April 2019
Bruges, Belgium

Travel, the daily movements of people (and animals), our mobility and ability to traverse spaces and places is the cornerstone of life in the 21st Century. We take it for granted, we presume it to be a feature of daily life and assume it to be a right which belongs to all of us. But whilst 'travel' appears to be initially straightforward, even a cursory glance quickly reveals an intricate, nuanced and multi-layered phenomenon which, even now, we struggle to fully understand or appreciate.

What exactly does it mean to travel? Who travels where and why? Undoubtedly tourism plays a major role: brands, rituals, routes, locations and attractions along with their links to culture, race, gender, identity, age and occupation. In this respect travel is connected to privilege, to heritage, to technology, business, economics and the environment. What ties does travel have to industry or education or health? But travel can also be involuntary; forced by acts of war, displaced through genocide, repatriated or removed by political dictators and governmental decree.

This inclusive interdisciplinary conference aims to map the broad boundaries of what is involved when we begin to grapple with travel and explore all the various interfaces which are created when people move, for whatever reasons, from place to place. We will be creating spaces where personal experiences and storytelling are available alongside perspectives from industry and travel professionals, insights from policy makers, viewpoints from indigenous cultures and local contexts, the activities of bloggers and vloggers and many, many more.

We will explore travel as a cultural phenomenon, identify areas, issues and problems where reform is needed and consider potential pathways to the future with a view to forming a publication to engender further research, practice, collaboration and discussions.

Key themes may include but are not limited to:

Economics and Policy
~ Trends and issues in the tourism industry
~ Business models that support travel (e.g. Air BnB and other DIY tourism models)
~ Tourism as engine for economic development in locations
~ Travel and the workforce (fly-in-fly-out occupations and their effect on individuals and communities, changes to human resource planning and policy, regulation of work-related travel)
~ Tourism policy (provisions for national/state parklands, historical landmarks, and other travel destinations; promotion and regulation of travel industry)

Eco-tourism
~ Travel bans and their implications
~ Safety rules and regulations for travel generally
~ Customs and immigration policy
~ Consular/Embassy interactions with travellers
~ Approaches to designing tourism destinations

Education
~ Travel and learning
~ Travel and education curriculum development
~ Case studies in tourism and hospitality courses/training

Travel Patterns
~ Historical and contemporary cultural attitudes toward travel
~ Emerging trends; the rise of the travel as an 'experience'
~ Predicting the future of travel

Travel and Philosophy
~ Ethical and moral considerations in tourism (issues of exploitation, dark tourism, commodification of cultures, boycotts, etc.)
~ Impact of travel on the development of moral and ethical theories
~ Environmental impact, justice and sustainability
~ Journeys as enlightenment/pilgrimages

Travel, Medicine and Health
~ Therapeutic benefits of travel
~ Medical tourism; the rise of the spa
~ Role of travel in spreading/curing diseases
~ Differently-abled travel
~ Phobias related to travel: causes and approaches to treatment
~ Medical emergencies during travel: issues around insurance, approaches for accessible treatment
~ Those who cannot travel

Travel and Technology
~ Profiles of key innovations and innovators
~ Virtual travel and the technologies the enable it
~ Innovation to enhance speed and comfort of travel
~ The future technologies of travel
~ Space and deep-sea exploration

Travel as Creative Inspiration
~ Travelogues, tv series about travel, travel writing, travel cookery and cuisine
~ Art, music, poetry, literature inspired by travel (or which inspires travel)

Travel and Identity
~ Examinations of how class, gender, ethnicity, nationality, occupation and sexual orientation impact travellers and experiences with travelling
~ Specialised sectors in the travel industry to cater for groups (LGBTIA, singles, retirees, backbackers, etc.)
~ Anthropological/sociological studies of nomadic (sub) cultures and indigenous peoples
~ Motivations and barriers to travel

2nd Global Conference: Spirituality And... Culture

Spirituality And... Culture
2nd Global Conference

Saturday 13th April to Sunday 14th April 2019
Bruges, Belgium

Spirituality and culture are closely linked. How we treat other people, what and when we eat and drink, how we interact with – and transcend – the everyday world are all affected by our spiritual orientation. Our spiritual commitments may prompt us to seek social change, travel to sacred places, and follow certain rituals to put us in touch with something beyond humdrum living. We might signal our identification with a particular spiritual group by our outward appearance, and hope that our conduct will improve the culture around us in some small way. In turn, the wider culture affects our spiritual life, so that it's sometimes hard to know which aspects of our daily living are based on local customs and which are spiritual in origin.

Spirituality recognises that there is more to reality than just the material world. The intuition that our lives have meaning and are part of something bigger is a powerful motivator for us to cultivate our spiritual side. The mystical experiences and beliefs that arise from this engagement can stimulate our creative urges. Feelings of transcendence and awe have inspired artists, writers and composers throughout the ages, and continue to influence cultures around the world. Spirituality has not gone away in a hyper-connected age, but finds new modes of expression and practice.

Spirituality And … Culture is part of an exciting series of inclusive interdisciplinary projects that focus on the significance of spirituality to human living, thinking and feeling in today's world. This event will explore the interactions between spirituality, culture and social phenomena with a view to forming a publication to engender further collaboration and discussion.

Themes we would like to develop include (but are not limited to):

Spirituality and Creativity
e.g., painting and sculpture inspired by spirituality; popular culture; literature; mass media; music; dance; theatre; opera; architecture; cyberspace

Spirituality and Travel
e.g., pilgrimages as spiritual living; spiritual tourism; retreats; sacred spaces; migration in a globalized economy; borderless spirituality; how well do religions 'travel'?; nomadic and worldwide religions vs localised beliefs; religious appropriation; porous communities

Spirituality and Social Change
e.g., social justice; pacifism; enlightenment; patriarchy; polygamy; fundamentalism; feminism; euthanasia; abortion; environmental awareness; poverty; racism; penal reform; toleration of difference

Spirituality and Politics
e.g., church and state; theocracies; Hindutva; religion in the private sphere and public square; clash of secular and spiritual ideologies (such as 'gay cake' incidents in Northern Ireland and the USA, cow vigilantes in India); shariah compliant banking; anti-consumerism; fundamentalist atheism; claims of indigenous peoples to sacred geographies

Spirituality, Liberation and Oppression
e.g., transcendence as escape from misery; human rights; religious tolerance; secular intolerance of religion; discrimination; extremism; misogyny; homophobia

Spiritual Practices
e.g., belief-centred vs. practice-centred religion; changing liturgies; newer forms of worship; New Age 'supermarket' of spiritual practices – crystals, angels, candles, incense, chanting, music, drumming, psychoactive drugs, dancing, sleep deprivation; exorcism; revivals, retrievals and appropriations of older styles of religion – druidism, Kabbalah, Wahhabi, fundamentalist Christianity

Spirituality and Food
e.g., fasting; Lent; Ramadan; feasting; dietary laws; kosher, halal, prohibitions; alcohol; transubstantiation; cannibalism; puja; monastic asceticism; vegetarianism; mindful eating; soul food

Spirituality and Education
e.g., secular schools and spirituality; meditation in the classroom; mindfulness; attention and distraction; Steiner, Krishnamurti etc; schools with religious ethos; madrassa; religious education versus religious training

Spirituality and Interfaith Relations
e.g., meditation as common ground between world religions; development of a global ethic; Dalai Lama/Kung conversations; conversion and apostasy; immigration; cultural clashes involving spiritual orientation; jihad; crusades

Spirituality and Identity
e.g., religious symbols – hijab, turban, cross, kippah; communities of faith, 'Spiritual but not religious'; census categories; non-religious forms of spirituality; yoga; mindfulness; non-religious Buddhism; 'anonymous' Christianity
