rust: An Inclusive Interdisciplinary Conference Saturday 31st August 2019 - Sunday 1st September 2019 Lisbon, Portugal We live in a time when manipulated images, partisan reporting, and allegations of ‘fake news’ make it increasingly difficult to determine whether individuals and institutions are worthy of our trust. Trust is akin to a leap of faith that depends on a combination of experience, intuition, bravery and sheer hope. As Alphonse Lingis observes, ‘[…] to trust you is to go beyond what I know and to hold on to the real individual that is you.” Interpersonal trust circumvents the uncertainties that may put relationships at risk and transforms these into the most wondrous of alliances as doubt turns to rapture. 300 word proposals, presentations, abstracts and other forms of contribution and participation should be submitted by Friday 8th March 2019. Other forms of participation should be discussed in advance with the Organising Chair. All submissions will be minimally d...

Anticipating Black Futures is an interdisciplinary symposium that will consider the futures of Black people in Britain by responding to the lived experiences of now. In a nation where Black pasts are erased and the present is under threat, how do we begin conceptualising the future? This conference responds to this curiosity by raising questions about the meanings of Black identities in Britain from this moment post- Windrush and Brexit. By anticipating the future Black possibilities we can articulate contemporary realities and theorise how to move forward from the present hostile environment. By legitimising anticipation of the future as a research premise this conference aims to articulate what it means to be Black in Britain by looking into future possibilities. The symposium will not only benefit those studying Black Studies and its related subjects. It will perform as a platform to further interest across Britain by being open to students in the arts, humanities, social s...
