The Second Annual Conference of the European Consortium of Humanities Institutes and Centres (ECHIC)
After last year’s successful founding conference in Dublin, ECHIC is happy to announce the next annual conference. The 2012 conference, provisionally entitled ‘Grand Challenges for the Humanities?’, will take place at the CfH in Utrecht from the 28th of February to the 1st of March, 2012. The general theme allows for four strands, around which the conference will evolve:
Environmental humanities
Civic responsibility of the humanities
Globalizing humanities
Cognitive humanities
Moreover, there will be two forums:
Digital forum – on the digitalization of the Humanities
Institutional forum – for international policy makers in the field of the Humanities
Within the conference, a parallel affinity group session entitled Supporting Content: Policy Management, Finances & Communication Strategies for HICs will be organized especially for managers and administrators of centres and institutions.
A call for papers for each theme will be distributed in fall 2011.
