in social, political and public spaces

Date: 23-24 november 2023

*Location:* University of Rome Tor Vergata

We are delighted to invite researchers and scholars to participate in 
the III International Conference on “Transformations in the Digital Age: 
Transformations in Individual, Community, and Political Vulnerabilities 
in Social, Political, and Public Spaces." The conference aims to explore 
the multifaceted challenges faced by individuals, communities, and 
societies in the increasingly pervasive interaction of humans with AI 
and n the ever more sophisticated and challenging digital space, and to 
foster critical discussions on strategies to address these vulnerabilities.

*Background:*

Contemporary society is witnessing profound transformations that impact 
the dynamics of vulnerabilities experienced by various social groups. 
Rapid globalization, political upheavals, technological advancements, 
digital contexts and environmental crises have brought forth new 
challenges and exacerbated existing vulnerabilities. These 
vulnerabilities manifest at individual, community, and political levels, 
posing complex dilemmas for societies worldwide (Brown, Ecclestone, 
Emmel 2017).

*Conference Themes:*

The conference will encompass a wide range of themes, addressing the 
transformations in vulnerabilities across diverse social, political, and 
public spaces. Suggested topics for paper submissions include, but are 
not limited to:

1.     Social Exclusion and Marginalization: Analyses of social factors 
contributing to the marginalization of vulnerable groups, and strategies 
to promote social inclusion and cohesion.

2.     Identity and Belonging: Exploration of how shifting social 
dynamics impact individual and collective identities, and how a sense of 
belonging is constructed and disrupted.

3.     Political Agency and Participation: Examination of the challenges 
and opportunities for political participation and agency among 
vulnerable communities, and the implications for democracy.

4.     Economic Precarity: Studies on the evolving economic 
vulnerabilities faced by individuals and families, and the role of 
policies and interventions in enhancing economic security.

5.     Technological Transformations: Exploration of how technological 
advancements influence vulnerabilities, privacy concerns, and digital 
divides in the modern era.

6.     Environmental Vulnerabilities: Analysis of the impacts of climate 
change and environmental degradation on vulnerable communities and their 
resilience.

7.     Migration and Refugees: Studies on the experiences of migrants 
and refugees in navigating social, cultural, and political 
vulnerabilities in host countries.

8.     Health and Well-being: Investigations into the health disparities 
and challenges faced by vulnerable populations, and strategies for 
promoting health equity.

9.     Gender and Intersectionality: Exploration of how gender 
intersects with other social dimensions to shape vulnerabilities and 
opportunities.

*Submission Guidelines:*

contributions, policy analyses, and case studies related to the 
conference themes. Communication and Media Studies scholars are welcome.
