Organized by the Centre for Global Justice
St Mary’s University College Belfast

‘Global (In-)Securities’ provides a platform to explore and discuss 
questions relating to the practices, technologies and experiences of 
securities and insecurities in a globalised world. In recognition of the 
complexities that pertain to the question of security and insecurity, 
relating to issues such as war and conflict, migration and the global 
economy, we want to probe multi- and interdisciplinary perspectives on 
global (in-)securities. While cognisant of the contribution from the 
field of security studies, we welcome paper and panel proposals from a 
wide range of disciplinary backgrounds and methodological perspectives.

We invite proposals for panels and papers from all areas of Global 
Studies. Submissions that engage with the conference theme and address 
the following topics are particularly encouraged:

 Theorising (in-)security
 Representations of (in-)security in film and literature
 Spatial and temporal dimensions of (in-)security
 Technologies of (in-)security
 Risk and resilience
 (In-)security and transnational migration
 Gender and (in-)security
 Affective and embodied experiences of (in-)security
 Precarity, vulnerability and (in-)security
 (In-)security in the global economy
 (In-)security and human rights
 (In-)security and the anthropocene
 Ethics, cosmopolitanism and (in-)security

Please submit your paper or panel proposal to (b.schippers /at/ smucb.ac.uk). 
The deadline for the submission of paper and panel proposals is 1 March 
2016. Paper proposals should include a title, abstract (300 words) and 
institutional affiliation; panel proposals should include a panel title 
and description as well as the abstracts and details of panel speakers.
