About
​
The theme of the conference is the question of ‘Back to the Future’. The pandemic has affected our lives and livelihoods in previously unimaginable ways. It has had profound effects on the cultural and creative industries and highlighted issues of equality, diversity and inclusion. What are our post pandemic aspirations? What can we learn from our recent and distant pasts? How can we create a better future? This theme is built around the idea of returning to thinking about the future, as we emerge from and come to terms with, the pandemic and its effects.
​
This conference is organised by Techne (AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership) in conjunction with Loughborough University London. This is one of our regular Congresses organised for Techne students. The conference is primarily organised for students within our Doctoral Training Partnership, but as the conference is running online we also welcome any other doctoral students to attend sessions. Please direct any queries to techne@rhul.ac.uk.
