The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research into Health and Illness welcomes proposals for contributions to the interdisciplinary conference Dynamics of loneliness. Intersections of the cultural, social and medical<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loneliness is a multi-faceted phenomenon: It can function as exclusion from society, as discriminatory experience, and have impact on mental health. At the same time, it can have positive connotations, as individual experience of autonomy and freedom, as a source of creativity, contemplation, self-care and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is growing academic interest in loneliness, in particular, in response to the covid-19 pandemic. It is still unclear, however, not only what constitutes loneliness and its experience, but also what its workings are. To this effect, the organisers are looking to hold a conference devoted to discussions on loneliness as dynamic experience constructed in multiple medical, cultural, literary or philosophical discourses\/contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We intend the conference to be interdisciplinary. We welcome contributions of scholars working with a variety of disciplinary or theoretical perspectives, including but not limited to sociology, psychology, linguistics, literature, visual culture, philosophy. Similarly, we welcome contributions from both established scholars and those only beginning their academic journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The topics which we suggest for the event include but are not limited to (in no particular order):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
