The 2nd International Humanities–Society–Identity Congress: Evolution/ Revolution Programme Committee is looking forward to welcoming you to Warsaw. The Congress embraces the study of all aspects pertaining to the notions of Humanities – Society – Identity. The focus is on the changes observed in those three areas with the main question being whether they should be perceived as evolutionary or revolutionary. The Congress Programme comprises two plenary lectures, a debate, general sessions and theme panel sessions.

 The idea for the Humanities - Society - Identity Congress was born out of the desire to create a platform for the exchange of views and perspectives on those three crucialnotions, which are studies by researchers representing various disciplines. The 1st Congress, which took place in December 2022, gathered such eminent scholars as Homi K. Bhabha (Harvard University), Jacqueline Bhabha (Harvard University), Marius Turda (Oxford Brookes University), Markéta Křížová (Charles University), or Susan Stryker (University of Arizona). The quality of talks and the liveliness of debates proved the need for the continuation of the venture and led to the decision of making the Congress an annual event. SUBMISSION TYPES:
