SUMMARY:Decolonising Concepts through Memes – Exhibition & Panel | 14 July | King’s College London | Open to All | Venue: KCL Exchange | Time: 17:00–21:30
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of creativity\, critical reflection\, and lively discussion at King’s College London\, as we present the final showcase of the year-long workshop series “Decolonising Concepts through Memes.” Inspired by the work of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire and philosopher Henri Bergson\, participants explored how memes can be used as powerful tools to question and disrupt colonial narratives embedded in political\, social\, and cultural concepts. \nHosted by the Decolonising the Researcher workstream\, this exhibition will feature the original work of student participants and offer a platform to reflect on the transformative potential of memes in decolonial practice. The event will also explore the possibilities and limitations of artificial intelligence from a decolonial perspective. \nRegistration here \nThe evening will conclude with a drink’s reception\, opportunities for socialising and networking\, and a live performance by a Brazilian band. \n  \nThis event is free and open to all. Fully funded by LISS-DTP and the King’s College London Strategic College Teaching Fund.

SUMMARY:Transforming the Professional World through Culturally Competent Research
DESCRIPTION:Call for Abstracts \nTransforming the Professional World through Culturally Competent Research \nWe invite PhD students across disciplines and at any stage in their research to submit abstracts for this conference which examines how cultural competency could be embedded within your study. \nCultural competency is recognised as a fundamental professional skill that plays a crucial role in advancing social justice and equity\, particularly among culturally and linguistically diverse populations. Being culturally competent holds the potential to enhance communication\, foster respect for diverse cultures\, promote self-awareness\, and facilitate shared decision-making. \nThis conference\, which is funded by the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP) and organised by PhD students from King’s College London (KCL) and Queen Mary University of London (QMUL)\, aims to explore how cultures and languages intersect with professionalism\, equity\, and social justice in a globalised world. \nWe hope to provide a platform for engaging with ongoing debates and discussions on how culturally competent research can transform professional practices\, policies\, and relationships in professional contexts. We welcome contributions that explore any aspect of culturally competent research within professional settings\, including but not limited to: \n\nCultural competency in healthcare\, education\, law\, business\, and other professions\nThe role of language\, translation\, and interpreting in professional settings\nEquity\, social justice\, and intersectionality within professional practices\nResearch methodologies for studying cultural competency in professional contexts\nChallenges and opportunities in fostering culturally competent practices\n\nIf you would like to submit your abstract\, please register here and complete this Microsoft form by 30 April 2025. Applicants will be notified of a decision by 15 May 2025. \nFor more information or inquiries\, please contact the organisers: \n\nSamuel Yosef\, Department of Interdisciplinary Humanities\, KCL\, yosef@kcl.ac.uk\nPeng Wang\, Department of Interdisciplinary Humanities\, KCL\, wang@kcl.ac.uk\nPeace Chiu\, Wolfson Institute of Population Health\, QMUL\, chiu@qmul.ac.uk\n\nIf you would like to submit your abstract\, please register here and complete this Microsoft form by 30 April 2025.

SUMMARY:Global Theory Forum Spring Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Global Theory Forum (an ESRC-funded working group supported by the LISS-DTP) is pleased to announce\, and call for contributions to\, a Spring Symposium we are hosting on 24th April 2025. The Symposium will take place in-person\, at King’s College London\, Strand Campus. It will be a full day of political theory discussion\, and we hope that you will join us\, either as a presenter or an audience member – please keep the date in your diaries! \n  \nWhile the group has been running a series of idea-based workshops throughout the academic year\, the April Symposium will be structured around (borrowing from Hall) a series conjunctural themes alongside a roundtable discussion which will be centred on theorising as a practice. \n  \nAccordingly\, we are inviting submissions for participants\, particularly ECRs\, whose research sits within or speaks to one of said conjunctural themes. Each theme will have 2-3 ECR presenters and an invited senior discussant. We are also inviting suggestions for other conjunctures (see below for details on this). The conjunctures we are welcoming submissions to are: \n  \nEthics and Ethical Thinking from a Global Perspective \n  \nArchitectures of (Dis)Order and (Mis)Recognition \n  \nFrom the Postcolony\, Challenging Global Theorising? \n  \nRecovery\, Reparation\, and Practices of Repair \n  \nHope\, Cynicism\, and the Politics of Despair \n  \nEveryday Resistance and Political Exceptionality \n  \nIn keeping with the ethos of the working group sessions\, presenters are not expected to submit or present an in-progress or proposed paper but discuss a theoretical problematic/question they are tussling with in their research. Each discussant will be presenting their research/theoretical issue for 8-10 minutes\, and thereafter the panels will open up to broader discussion. These sessions are aimed to help ECRs feel comfortable expressing ideas in progress while also having some contact with/engagement with more senior academics in their specialist field and discussion with an interested audience. The aim of the day is to make theory more inclusive and more thorough in content. So\, if such a format or approach to theory in/as conversation speaks to you please do submit\, we’d love to have you as part of the conversation. \n  \nThe deadline for submissions is 25th January; if interested in submitting all we will require is a title\, abstract\, and a broader outline of where your theoretical interests sit. We will also be accepting a proposal for an extra conjunctural theme\, so if you have a particular theme that you believe has been omitted we are open to squeezing that into the schedule: the deadline for proposing an additional conjuncture is the 15th of December. Details to register to attend will follow in the New Year. \n  \nPlease email all applications to globaltheoryforum@gmail.com  \n  \nGlobal Theory Forum is supported by the LISS-DTP\, and co-affiliated with QMUL’s Theory Lab\, KCL’s Research Centre for International Relations\, and the London Political Theory Network.

DESCRIPTION:Workshop Call: “Decolonizing Concepts through Memes” \nDate: March 18\, 2025\, Time: 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm \nDate: March 26\, 2025\, Time: 12:00-4:00pm \nDate: April 1\, 2025\, Time: 1-5pm \nDate: April 10\, 2025\, Time: 2-6pm \n  \nWorkshop Overview: \nJoin us for an interactive workshop on “Decolonizing Concepts through Memes\,” where participants will take inspiration in the Brazilian sociologist and educator\, Paulo Freire\, and French Philosopher\, Henri Bergson\, to critically deconstruct mythologies of AI and creatively reinterpret visual media\, and the transformative potential of memes to challenge and disrupt colonial narratives embedded in political\, social\, and cultural concepts as reinforced by predictive and generative AI. \nWorkshop facilitator: \nThis workshop is facilitated by Dr Christoffer Guldberg\, who has written extensively on the war on drugs and online activism and violence in Brazil and beyond\, most recently in a peer-reviewed article on multi-modal memes. By bringing his research on the war on drugs\, AI and memes into the university in this interactive workshop he intends to push the boundaries of participatory research and active learning. His teaching methods have been published as blogs and peer-reviewed article at King’s Academy\, the University of Warwick\, and the KCL Decolonial Blog\, undotcomfortable\, and he hosts a podcast on decolonising AI at KCL – a Mostly Human Podcast. \nObjectives: \n\nExamine Coloniality in Visual Media: Begin with guided Google Image searches of terms like “International Development\,” “Refugee\,” or “Drug Trafficker” to critically assess how visual representations reflect and reinforce colonial\, racialized\, and gendered biases.\nCreative Disruption: After identifying biases\, participants will reframe these narratives by creating layered\, multi-modal memes\, drawing on their own knowledge and experience. Using screenshots from their searches\, participants will draw\, write\, and collage over images\, challenging the colonial undertones of these depictions.\nCollaboration and Sharing: Participants will be able to share and develop each other’s works\, both through institutional channels and their own networks\, echoing the iterative and community-driven nature of meme culture online and offline.\nCompetition and Exhibitions:\n\nSelected works will be displayed at our exhibition at the Science Gallery\, inviting feedback and engagement from a broader audience and continuing the critical conversations initiated in the workshop. \nAgenda: \n*2:00 pm – 2:45 pm: Introduction – Concept and Coloniality\n2:45 pm – 3:30 pm: Hands-on Image Search and Critical Analysis Exercise\n3:30 pm – 4:00 pm: Coffee Break\n4:00 pm – 5:30 pm: Creative Meme-Making Session\n5:30 pm – 6:00 pm: Sharing and Group Reflection \n*Note: While each workshop follows the same sequence of activities\, the start and end times vary by date to align with the different start times. This is to make sure that staff and students with different schedules and responsibilities have the chance to attend. \nWho Should Attend: \nThis workshop is open to all students\, as well as teaching and research staff\, including PhD students\, who are interested in media literacy\, decolonial studies\, and creative forms of resistance. No prior experience with meme creation is required. \nRegistration: \nPlease register by Skillsforge: Register here \nEmbark on a critical journey with us to uncover and subvert colonial narratives through the power of digital media and meme-making!

SUMMARY:EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE ECONOMICS JOB MARKET\, BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK
DESCRIPTION:The Qatar Centre for Global Banking and Finance is delighted to offer a workshop aimed at economics PhD students preparing for “the job market”. The workshop will consist of an afternoon of panel discussions and Q&A sessions. Various myths and misunderstandings surround the job market\, making the process more stressful and complicated than it needs to be. We hope to dispel those myths by starting a friendly discussion between (and among) students\, academics\, and private-sector recruiters. \nThis event (at KBS’s Bush House on July 4th) is open to all Economics PhD students at UK departments (not only macro and not only at King’s College London) and will be run in person. We encourage students at any stage of their PhD to sign up. Please note\, however\, in the case of capacity constraints\, priority will be given to students intending to go on the market in 2022/23. \nIf you wish to attend\, please register here and kindly complete this form. \nAny questions? Please email qcgbf.phd.event@gmail.com \nWe will discuss various mechanical aspects of the market (what to expect at interview\, how to market your paper\, etc.). Panelists include employees from: \n\nAcademic: Bank of England\, Institute for Fiscal Studies\, University of Oxford and Banque de France\nPrivate sector: BlackRock\, Goldman Sachs\, NERA Economic Consulting\, and Deliveroo\n\nYou will also get to hear from recent PhD graduates who will share their experiences of navigating the economics job market. In addition\, the finalists of QCGBF’s Young Economist Prize competition will present their work at the end of the day.

SUMMARY:Methods workshop: Identifying Hidden Patterns in your Data
DESCRIPTION:When: 3rd of May 2022: 9:30-17:30\nLocation: War Studies Department (room tbc)\nFormat: In-person \nThis transdisciplinary event will allow students and early career researchers to explore the power of quali-quantitative methods for processing and analysing large amounts of data. It starts from the assumption that many of the most popular approaches to analysing data about social phenomena (both qualitative and quantitative) can miss or omit certain key relations\, patterns\, and social dimensions. In the morning\, attendees will first hear how leading academics have deployed quali-quantitative techniques to uncover hidden elements that structure certain social spaces\, from the “field” of Eurocracy to EU Research and Development in border security. This will be followed in the afternoon by a hands-on\, interactive session to explore specific techniques (Correspondence Analysis\, Multiple Correspondence Analysis) and relevant software in more depth. \nEarly stage PHD students looking for ways to expand on their methods training or find new ways to collect and analyse their own data\, as well as PGRs and ECRs with prior knowledge/experience of the methods under discussion\, are all welcome. \nThe event follows a successful event on Visual Network Analysis in April\, and is a collaboration between the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP) and the Department of War Studies at King’s College London. \nFor further details & to sign up\, please contact Liam McVay (liam.mcvay@kcl.ac.uk)or Josh Walmsley (josh.walmsley@kcl.ac.uk). \nSpeakers & Instructors\nFrédéric Lebaron is Professor of Sociology at the École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay and co-author of Bourdieu and Data Analysis: Methodological Principles and Practice. Professor Lebaron will discuss the utilisation of Geometric Data Analysis in his research into the European Economic Field. \nMédéric Martin-Mazé is Lecturer in the Department of Science at Paris 8 University Vincennes-Saint-Denis\, where his research spans across international organisations and security aid in postcolonial States. \nSarah Perret is Research Associate at the Department of War Studies of King’s College London\, working on the ECR Project Security Flows\, and holds Chair in Geopolitics of Risk at the Ecole Normale Supérieure. \nDr Martin-Mazé and Dr Perret will discuss their joint work using Multiple Correspondence Analysis to map the sociotechnical universe of EU borders.
