11th Edition | Oxford 2026
From March 27 to 29, 2026, Oxford hosted the 11th edition, drawing academics, researchers, and professionals from around the world, including the UK, the US, Romania, China, Poland, Malaysia, and beyond. Ideas circulated, debates ignited, and cross-disciplinary collaborations emerged across fields ranging from sociology and political science to anthropology and economics.
The conference thrived on diversity: different viewpoints intersected, experiences were shared, and understanding deepened. Attendees found more than scheduled sessions; they discovered a space for genuine connection, hands-on collaboration, and the inspiration to push their research further.
