The 10th Annual Conference of the Global Academy of Liberal Arts, hosted by the founding institution, Bath Spa University, during 13-15 September 2024 can be viewed here:
The conference theme was ‘How can the liberal arts help a world in crisis?’. It responds to how the world has changed over the past decade and the context in which we now find ourselves — a world marked by global polarization, ecological crisis, and the rise of disruptive technologies, placing humanity itself under threat worldwide. The sub-themes of the conference included Environmental Crisis; Art for Social Change; Digital Threats and Opportunities; Indigenous Voice and Justice; and Power, Peace and Healing. With plenaries, papers, performances, roundtables and workshops from colleagues from 17 countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ethiopia, England, Germany, India, Italy, Ireland, Kenya, Maldives, Namibia, Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, and the United States of America, it was a truly international conference.
