We are interested in creativity in a broad sense, including artistic practices such as literature, film, theatre, dance, music and visual arts, but also the creative ways in which people live their lives (e.g. balance budgets, interpret policy, and perform
politics). In examining the links between precariousness and creativity, this CARISCC conference aims to bring together new approaches to the study of global security.
Therefore, CARISCC welcomes research papers and presentations which explore how in/security, as experienced and negotiated by ordinary people, informs creative and cultural practices in the Caribbean region.
Abstracts of 200-300 words should be emailed to the conference convener Dr Patricia Noxolo (
[log in to unmask]), using the subject heading “CARISCC Postgraduate Conference.” Please include your university affiliation details, your preferred email
address and a short biography of up to 150 words. It is anticipated that each presentation/research paper will last 10-15 minutes; and updated programme details will be released prior to the date of the conference to confirm presentation requirements and duration.
The deadline for submitting abstracts and 150-word biographies (as well as bursary applications) is Friday 24 November 2017.
