Resourcefulness, Peace, and Recovery are transnational and multi-faceted themes that can transcend crisis.
Throughout the broader historical context, they have generated political and economic reforms, innovative systems, and effective legislations. Certainly, in light of recent wars (Ukraine), the women-led counter-revolution in Iran, the COVID-19 pandemic, and climate crisis, these discussions have far deeper roots and personal meaning. How then do we devise resourceful solutions that lead to peace and recovery? What can the past teach us about resourcefulness? How do we shape this to suit us in the present and in the future?
These are questions that we strive to unpack in this year’s Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music (LCAHM) Annual Conference 2023 at the University of Birmingham, which will be in hybrid format- hosted in collaboration with the Institute for German and European Studies (IGES). We invite postgraduate and staff researchers including distance learning researchers within and beyond the LCAHM community to submit 200-word proposals/abstracts for fifteenminute papers for the LCAHM Annual Conference 2023 on the theme Resourcefulness for Peace and Recovery.
Submissions are by email to the organisers Bethlehem Attfield and Danielle Andréa Krikorian (under the guidance of Professor Sara Jones): lcahmconference@contacts.bham.ac.uk
We welcome a broad spectrum of submissions that respond to these themes in diverse ways, including all cultures, languages, arts, technologies, sciences, and histories, from any academic discipline and methodology. We also appreciate collaborative, hybrid, creative concepts, and presentations.
