Be the change - knowledge as disobedience, expression and creatitvy

Auckland - beautiful city - we loved it (and also visited Hobbiton  from there

For more than three decades now we are experiencing change in society and the pressure is mounting on higher education to either provide effectively for the technology-based network society or to dissolve (to put it softly). Interdisciplinary and postdisciplinary education and research seems to be one way that higher education is trying to bring about positive change to stay relevant.

Did you know that the 1^st International Conference on Postdisciplinary Approaches was held in Neuchatel, Switzerland in 2013 and the second conference was hosted by the Copenhagen Business School in 2015? If not, here is your chance to become part of the new look and attitude towards knowledge: The 3rd event will take place in Auckland, New Zealand, from 2-5 February 2018. The 3rd International Conference on Postdisciplinary Approaches is open to academics from all walks of life, regardless of disciplinary background or affiliation. 

The theme for this conference is Knowledge as Disobedience, Expression and Creativity, welcoming all types of presentations that address postdisciplinarity, encouraging non-western perspectives. Researchers are invited to present in the form of research papers, movies or audio-visual material, exhibitions, performances, music, literary writings such as poetry or short stories and other creative expressions. A combination of several of these is also welcome. The only problem is that there is only space for 120 delegates so make sure you pre-register your interest on the web page to receive updates.

The conference venue is the award winning AUT Sir Paul Reeves building on the campus of the Auckland University of Technology. ​

Also in 2018 and late 2017: Take a look at the conference cruises hosted by the Academic forum. The October 2017 conference cruise departs from Houston Texas and the January 2018 conference ship is the Royal Caribean Brilliance of the sea departing from Tampa, Florida on its way to Mexico.
