Postgraduate Conference, 15 June 2023 - Community and Cooperation
The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Stirling is delighted to host the annual FAH Postgraduate Conference at Stirling. The PG Conference 2023 will be a one-day event under the theme of Community and Cooperation.
Community has been integral to the lives of many people in the last three years, aiding them in navigating what was (and still is) an incredibly uncertain time. But what do community and cooperation look like across the world and what role do they play in the survival of humanity?
