Global (In-)Securities
Centre for Global Justice

29 June 2016 – 1 July 2016
Confirmed keynote speakers:

Professor Marysia Zalewski (Cardiff University)
‘Global (In-)Securities’ provides a platform to explore
and discuss questions relating to the practices,
technologies and experiences of securities and
insecurities in a globalised world. In recognition of the
complexities that pertain to the question of security and
insecurity, relating to issues such as war and conflict,
migration and the global economy, we want to probe multi-
and interdisciplinary perspectives on global
(in-)securities. While cognisant of the contribution from
the field of security studies, we welcome paper and panel
proposals from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds
and methodological perspectives.
We invite proposals for panels and papers from all areas
of Global Studies. Submissions that engage with the
conference theme and address the following topics are
particularly encouraged:
Ø Theorising (in-)security
Ø Representations of (in-)security in film and
literature
Ø Spatial and temporal dimensions of (in-)security
Ø Technologies of (in-)security
Ø Risk and resilience
Ø (In-)security and transnational migration
Ø Gender and (in-)security
Ø Affective and embodied experiences of (in-)security
Ø Precarity, vulnerability and (in-)security
Ø (In-)security in the global economy
Ø (In-)security and human rights
Ø (In-)security and the anthropocene
Ø Ethics, cosmopolitanism and (in-)security
Please submit your paper or panel proposal to
b.schippers@???. The deadline for the submission
of paper and panel proposals is 31 May 2016. Paper
proposals should include a title, abstract (300 words) and
institutional affiliation; panel proposals should include
