Designing Urban Universities
Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin
Thursday 22 to Saturday 24 June 2023
There is a growing dissonance between the urban university as often perceived—its physical, architectural, and emblematic form, its legacy structures and spaces, its time-honoured functions and traditions—and the university as a knowledge factory within the city, subject to political, commercial, and environmental pressures. But this is not a new dissonance. Architectural and design histories can uncover how, across diverse cases, it has often shaped the urban university internally and in its relationship with the city.
The Global Academy of Liberal Arts (GALA) is delighted to announce a call for papers for the 2023 conference on the theme of Sustainable Liberal Arts. This conference will be hosted by three different GALA partners at different times of the year, and papers can be presented in-person or online.
Please submit proposals at https://forms.gle/raik2hixJ4KPYPpa7 by Friday 3 February, 5pm UK time.

Gloria Naylor is one of the most important writers of 20th century American literature. Her literary works, from The Women of Brewster Place (1982), a NationalBook Award winning novel, to her fictional memoir, 1996, portray the communities that Black women build to resist, survive, and even thrive against the racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that confines and violates them.

Conference: 16-17 March 2023 (online- via Zoom platform)
Scientific Committee:
Professor Wojciech Owczarski – University of Gdańsk, Poland
Professor Polina Golovátina-Mora – NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
CALL FOR PAPERS:
Lydia Davis is an award-winning author of nine short story collections, a novel, two volumes of essays, and a translator of Maurice Blanchot, Michael Leiris, Marcel Proust, and Gustave Flaubert. Beginning her career amidst the second wave of postmodernism, her very short stories - some only a paragraph or even a sentence long - have drawn comparisons with postmodern metafiction, literary minimalism, and LANGUAGE poetry. Her eclectic interests and unexpected manipulation of genre and form, however, frequently defy categorisation.
This handbook is oversubscribed and is no longer accepting proposals. There will be a call for editorial advisers (reviewers) later in the year. Thank you.
Since its first call 1.5 months ago the handbook has received enthusiastic responses and have recruited 30 chapters. We aim to expand to 60 chapters so please see the updated structure below and chip in where you might find a match between section title and a paper you have in mind. Please email your proposed chapter title and an abstract of 200-300 words to Dr Chris Shei at c-c.shei@swansea.ac.uk Many thanks
