PHILOSOPHY OF THE CITY NOW: AROUND THE WORLD IN 24 HOURS
24 HOURS OF PHILOSOPHY ONLINE CONFERENCE – MAY 17, 2021, UTC 00:00–23:59.
While only the most dedicated might be willing to join us for 24 hours, we hope that everybody will have a chance to participate in the event for a while in accordance with your local time zone. We would also like to facilitate collaboration in our global community by organizing the event in a jointly manner. Since this event is organized by time zones, it means that Johannesburg and Amsterdam will share the same conference time. Also, we aim to create an overlap in the time zones in this program so that it will cross continents, so for instance, London and New York will share a session.
We will have one main video stream with lectures and panel discussion, which will form the centre stage and the event's backbone. We will leave it to our co-hosts to add additional (hybrid) elements to the event.
THEME AND SCOPE
We especially invite scholars to reflect on the role of the city in the current pandemic and how our relationships with cities may change in a Post-COVID situation. This may include but is certainly not limited to topics such as "Architecture, urban planning and public health" or "Sustainable development in a time of crisis." Non-Covid related presentations are also welcome. For your inspiration, here are some potential topics:
- Architecture, urban planning and public health
- Sustainable development in a time of crisis
- Issues in Housing, Transportation, Smart Cities, Infrastructure, Energy, Water and Food
- Urban Affairs & Social Identities: Race, Class, Gender, Sexuality and Citizenship
- Urban Aesthetics
- Technology and the City
