Please do take in consideration to apply your attendance or submit a talk at "World Humanities Conference" titled "Challenges and Responsibilities for a Planet in Transition".

Until the Second World War, the Humanities were at the heart of both public debate and the political arena. In recent years, their role has faded and they have been marginalized. It is crucial to stop their marginalization, restore them and impose their presence in the public sphere as well as in public policies. It is not about demonstrating that the humanities are ‘useful’, but to determine their scope and how they can contribute to resolving the main challenges of the third millennium.

Dear Angela,
you are mostly welcome.
You can write me an email regarding the Humanities and Social Science group directly to have some brain storming :-)
Kind regards,
Nina
Thank you Nina for this message! As you know, I am very intersted in these themes.
Best regards, Angela
