Knowledge / Culture / Social Change International Conference (Australia)

Knowledge / Culture / Social Change International Conference - "The humanities and social sciences today struggle to come to terms with the explosion of knowledge in increasingly complex, diverse and networked societies. Which forms of knowledge work best for managing, challenging or engaging with rapid social change? Do new kinds of information play an increasing role in economic and social management? Do these changes raise questions about what 'knowledge' is, or is to become? What are the new rules for engagement between academic and other knowledge practices and institutions? This conference will bring together theorists and practitioners from a range of backgrounds and knowledge institutions to debate these questions" - 7-9 November, 2011 - Sydney, Australia
