On December 9th-10th, fifteen world-wide experts will come together at UCC’s Brookfield Health Sciences Complex and the Crawford Gallery to consider the theme of Renaissance and Renewal against the backdrop of the European Renaissance. One of the key aims of the conference will be to elicit the lessons that history may hold for contemporary society.
To facilitate a many-sided discussion, the conference will be articulated in ten parts relating to chief areas of this transdisciplinary and multifaceted field within the humanities and social sciences: History, Languages and Literatures, History of Science, Cultural Studies, Classical Studies, Gender Studies, Art History, Philosophy, Sociology, Politics.
