SWWDTP Summer Research Festival

SWWDTP Summer Research Festival (16^th – 17^th June 2022) has reached its second edition and this year the theme is Changes: Calibration, Rethinking and Adjustment. The topic follows on from last year’s theme, Futures, in order to allow for conversations on new, re-calibrated approaches to research and re-thinking themes and issues to unveil within the social, economic, cultural and historical background.

This interdisciplinary festival explores the various attitudes towards changes in terms of their adoption, adaption, effects and measurement. How do we as individuals and as a broader society navigate and perceive change? How might we learn and adapt, and how might past change inform our perspectives? How can we create change for a better future?

To examine these questions and more, we invite 15-20 minute conference papers, collaborative events, online exhibitions, panel discussion, round tables, workshops, performances, film or any other form of activity. Please submit abstracts or proposals (max. 250 words for a paper, or 350 words for any other type of event) via this Google form here by Monday 25th April. Applications are welcomed from other DTP PGRs not based at SWW DTP.

• • • The first day of the festival (Thursday 16th June) will be entirely online, while the second day (Friday 17th June) will be hybrid – both online and in person at a venue in Exeter (t.b.c.), as well as being open to the public with free admission.
    • We look forward to reading your abstracts! In the meantime, feel free to drop us an email with any additional questions: dtp.changefestival@gmail.com
