The Arab Council for the Social Sciences is pleased to announce its seventh conference, titled “Devastation, Imaginaries and Knowledge: Regional Junctures and Global Repercussions” to be held in Beirut, Lebanon on May 15-18, 2025. To view the Preliminary Program, press here

Theme: Devastation, Imaginaries and Knowledge: Regional Junctures and Global Repercussions

For decades the Arab region has been embroiled in severe political, social and economic upheavals and change.These conditions challenge states, societies and individuals as well as knowledge production processes and institutions.  The social and human sciences have tried to respond in different ways to these difficult contexts. Researchers, writers and artists have explored the roots of conflicts, analyzed the forces of change and envisioned alternative futures.

While addressing different themes and topics, all the ACSS conferences focus on interrogating the social sciences and humanities disciplines and have sought to understand processes of knowledge production during turbulent times. Similarly, the Seventh Conference will explore the changing intellectual and methodological concepts, tools and outputs necessitated by the severity of events in the Arab region.

The conference will examine the current landscapes of despair and destruction across the region with a view to understanding the profound changes that these imply for states, societies, citizens and the displaced. The focus will be on watersheds and turning points that have shaped the region, both historically and in the present, but equally on how the global and the regional are co-constructed through these crises.

We invite papers that explore different dimensions of the subthemes described below. We are particularly interested in exploring some innovative themes such as the role of new technologies in reshaping lives and knowledge, imaginaries of futures that arise out of a mixture of hope and despair, the relationship between the experiential, the visual and the auditory and the intersections of the global and the regional.
