Movement(s) in a Dynamic World: Interdisciplinary Perspectives

Movement Conference Logo

Winthrop University’s 3rd Interdisciplinary Conference
February 24-25, 2023

Winthrop University will hold its third Interdisciplinary Conference entitled “Movement(s) in a Dynamic World: Interdisciplinary Perspectives.” Pandemic confinement is an all too recent memory, and we have since emerged into a world of shifting Political, Social, Ecological, and Ideological landscapes full of possibility. Where do we go from here? We hope that the broad and inclusive scope of this conference theme will result in a prismatic representation of Movement(s) drawing on perspectives across academic disciplines and also representing the vital work Movement(s) play in our communities.
