Tenth International Conference on New Directions in the Humanities

The conference and its companion journal provide vibrant, intellectually stimulating spaces for scholars from all geographic and disciplinary areas to learn, converse, and create. The aim is to generate new knowledge about the nature of the humanities, building strongly on the past traditions of the humanities while setting a renewed agenda for the future. 

The Humanities Conference is held annually in different locations around the world. Over the past nine years, the Humanities Conference has established a reputation as a focal point for new ideas and new practices in humanities research and teaching. The conference was held at the Universidad de Granada, Spain in 2011; at the University of California, Los Angeles, USA in 2010; in Beijing, China in 2009; at the Fatih University, Istanbul, Turkey in 2008; at the American University of Paris in 2007; at the University of Carthage in Tunis in 2006; at Cambridge University in the UK in 2005; at the Monash University Centre in Prato, Italy in 2004; and at the University of the Aegean in Rhodes, Greece in 2003.

In addition to plenary speakers, the conference will also include numerous paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by practitioners, teachers and researchers.
