Call for presentations
The aim of the 3rd International Conference on Postdisciplinary Approaches is to extend the boundaries of what constitutes ‘legitimate’ knowledge. The conference is open to academics from all walks of life, regardless of disciplinary background or affiliation. We welcome presentations dealing with postdisciplinarity approaches to knowledge as disobedience, expression and creativity.
Researchers are invited to present their knowledge production and passion in the form of research papers, movies or audio-visual material, exhibitions, performances, music, literary writings, such as poetry or short stories and other creative contributions. A combination of these forms of expression is much welcomed. We recognise that there are a number of different ways in which research can be communicated, and we are committed to accommodating the needs of individual and group expressions.
Help us promote this event!
Publishing Opportunities
Aside from the Conference Proceedings, we will work towards producing a special issue based on selected presentations at the Postdisciplinarity Conference 2018. The details of specific publications will be announced at a later stage. Please check our website for regular updates.
We are working hard on making this a fun, inclusive and empowering event. Forget PowerPoints and endless streams of talks… You will be immersed in flows of inspiration, sparked by vibrant conversations and stimulating ideas.
Liberate your mind!
We are looking forward to welcoming you in 2018!

Presenting your Paper
We have decided to be disobedient about the order of your presentations!
​
Rather than dictating the intellectual flow of this conference, you will be able to choose your presentation time when you register. Each presentation will be 20 minutes long with additional 10 minutes for questions/discussion. Please referrer to the PROGRAMME tab to see the latest conference programme.
​
You will have a choice of 2 rooms- one is equipped with a PC, screen, and a sound system, the other offers a more informal setting for presentations that do not require the use of technology. Your talk, your choice!
