*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.

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