Call for submissions: UNIC thematic conference, "Institutions in Transition"

5 Nov 2025

The 2nd UNIC Thematic Conference titled Institutions in Transition: Justice, Security, and Well-Being in Post-Industrial Cities, will be hosted by Koç University Istanbul from 17 to 19 June 2026.

Building on UNIC’s Thematic Lines 4 (Justice, Security, and Institutions) and 6 (Health and Well-being), the conference is organized around two key thematic streams—focusing on justice, security, and institutional dynamics, and on health and well-being in post-industrial urban settings—with Superdiversity serving as a transversal theme that highlights questions of inclusion and belonging in post-industrial cities. 

The conference team invites multidisciplinary contributions from across, but not limited to, the social sciences, law, health, education, and urban studies. Submissions are welcome in the following formats: Individual Papers, Thematic Panels, Workshops & Roundtables, and Book Talks / Special Issue Presentations.
