SUMMARY:LCAHM Annual Conference 2023: Resourcefulness for Peace and Recovery
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/202150
DESCRIPTION:Resourcefulness, Peace, and Recovery are transnational and multi-faceted themes that can transcend crisis.\n
 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? \n
 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). \n
