Join us in Brighton for The European Conference on Arts and Humanities 2019 (ECAH2019) July 12-13, 2019 The Jurys Inn Brighton Waterfront, Brighton, UK https://ecah.iafor.org/ ––– Event Details ––– Conference Theme: "Reclaiming the Future" Early Bird Abstract Submission Deadline: February 28, 2019* Final Abstract Submission Deadline: April 30, 2019 Early Bird Registration for Presenters: March 29, 2019* Final Registration Deadline for Presenters: May 31, 2019 *Submit early to take advantage of the discounted registration rates. ––– Conference Theme: "Reclaiming the Future" ––– We live in a period characterised by rises in regionalism, nationalism and authoritarianism; a time of great global uncertainty and anxiety, as well as inequality and iniquity which both reflects and drives political divide, and undermines international systems of cooperation. Clashes of identities, beliefs and ideologies are evident in academia, media and the arts, contributing to a feeling that humanity is spiralling out of control; that our relationships with each other, as well as with the earth and environment, have never been worse. Yet, as humans, we are not conditioned by fear alone, but instead by a remarkable ingenuity, and a capacity for hope, self-reflection, activism and action. This agency to improve our own lives, and those of others, is the theme of this international conference, inviting us to consider the ways in which we contextualise and process the past, reimagining ourselves, our relationships, and our environments; driving positive change and reclaiming the future as a time we look towards with hope, and even optimism. ECAH2019 will be held alongside The European Conference on Media, Communication and Film 2019 (EuroMedia2019). Registration for either conference will allow delegates to attend sessions in the other. In conjunction with our Global Partners, including the University of Sussex and Birkbeck, University of London, we look forward to extending you a warm welcome in 2019. ––– Call for Papers ––– The conference theme for ECAH is "Reclaiming the Future", and the organisers encourage submissions that approach this theme from a variety of perspectives.
