The 8th International Conference on Arts and Humanities (ICOAH) 2021
The International Institute of Knowledge Management (TIIKM) in collaboration with Concordia University (Montreal, Canada) is pleased to invite abstracts for its 8th International Conference on Arts and Humanities (ICOAH) 2021, which will be held on 21st-22nd September 2021 Virtually. The theme of the conference is “HEALTH IN THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded us of our profound interconnectedness—we are all experiencing the effects of the pandemic and are suffering collectively (and in unison with the planet). Put simply, “we are in it together”; “health is everyone’s business,” across and beyond disciplinary distinctions. How can the arts and humanities contribute to understanding and promoting health? How can we engage creatively, collaboratively, and inclusively in health discourse? In what ways can traditional, contemporary, narrative, and artistic medical practices converge in healing individuals, societies, and the environment?
ICOAH 2021 will be a global platform for artists, researchers, academics, educators, art administrators, policymakers, advocates, media specialists, cultural community activists, and social scientists to collaborate in exploring the many aspects of health and the roles of the arts and humanities in understanding and promoting health. Join us and share your ongoing projects, creations, research, knowledge, questions, and experiences. We welcome abstracts of 175 to 275 words. Proposals may include papers, workshops, panels, and art presentations on (but not limited to):
