The University of Queensland's School of Social Science invites you to attend our 2025 Postgraduate Conference.
What methods do we use to address change itself? Who or what do we rely on in moments of disaster? How do we build resilience against future crises?
Under the theme Crisis and Resilience: Social Environments in Transition, we will explore critical, interdisciplinary engagement with the ways that individuals, communities, institutions, and environments experience, resist, and adapt to disruption across time and space. From global pandemics and environmental collapse, to war, displacement, rising gendered violence and systemic injustice, crisis increasingly defines our world – and our work as researchers.
This conference provides a platform for postgraduate scholars to explore and collaborate on the social, political, cultural, and environmental dynamics of crisis and resilience through diverse methodological and theoretical approaches. Join us to reflect, connect, and imagine new responses to salient challenges in our time.
