Crises signify conflicts, danger and chaos. Global crises, from health 
crises like COVID-19 pandemic to political crises, from war and terror 
to humanitarian disasters, represent the dark side of a globalized 
world. This year’s conference theme focuses on how do global crises 
emerge from, and result in, social, political, cultural, institutional, 
economic, technological and environmental changes. The conference aims 
to analyze the ongoing multi-dimensional crisis of global world and 
provide interdisciplinary approaches to the current global crises. The 
major themes to be covered with respect to global crises may include 
health crises (e.g. COVID-19 pandemic), wars and terrorism, global 
displacement and mass migration, legal crises and legitimacy, economic 
crises, disasters, catastrophes and risks, environmental challenges, 
poverty, politics (e.g. rise of populism, rise of nationalism), security 
(e.g. national security, digital security), the role of media in crisis 
time, disinformation and power relations. The conference also aims to 
understand how global crises are spawned by and shape our global age, 
and how they are represented in the media.
