Festival of Ideas: Transitions

The world faces unprecedented transitions with increasing speed and impact, and at every level: individual, social, cultural, environmental and political. While some planned, designed or governed transitions can be tolerated or are even desired, sudden disruptions cause uncertainty, unpalatable stasis or even regression. Intellectual work, focused on long-term thinking and support for co-existence in transitional contexts is urgently required by academics and the public. 

The IAS Festival of Ideas: Transitions brings together scholars, activists, artists, and the wider University and local communities, to critically examine crucial transitions and pave the way for more informed, cross-disciplinary thinking for change.
