Overview
The central role of knowledge in society and the economy as posited by scholars all over the world is gaining prominence beyond the institutional walls of universities. The increasing currency of research has transcended the traditional role of the academic, challenging the meaning of knowledge collaboration as to also include business circles, policy makers, and technocratic networks. These changes in the past few decades have emerged particularly in the developing world as a response to the social transformations that follows a freer global flow of goods, services, and people.
The first International Conference on Contemporary Social and Political Issues hosted by the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences stems from these developments regarding the knowledge economies. The theme “Knowledge and Social Transformations” urges scholars and professional researchers to reconsider new agendas in knowledge production, where different regionalization tides affect previously rigidly separated disciplines in more collaborative, if not contradictory, ways. This theme is concerned about the link created between knowledge productions in universities with liberalizing forces in the global economy.
The political consequences of research institutions that are much more responsive to the demands for economic growth must be further scrutinized. Such a theme pushes for a perusal on discourses which are invisible to this knowledge economy. This raises fundamental questions regarding analysis on new forms of social inequality, social exclusion, as well as who is being prevented from political representation and participation. The theme is expected to initiate cross and multidisciplinary academic discussions regarding novel forms of concentration and democratization of knowledge in the increasingly globalized and digitalized world we live in today.
