Thriving through Crisis and Conflict?: Interdisciplinary Insights for an Uncertain Future

Join us at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Center in Washington, D.C. as we explore how interdisciplinary research about crisis and conflict can strengthen science and society.

This multidisciplinary conference, hosted by the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and the School for Advanced International Studies, will explore the key question: How can we learn to thrive in a world riddled with crisis and conflict? Together, we will lay the foundation for interdisciplinary research on this topic by sparking initial conversations, with an eye toward sustaining the scholarly community, and ultimately expanding its impact.

The conference program will include:

• Keynote speakers offering insights into the crisis and conflict landscape of the future
• A series of interactive roundtable and small group discussions on:
  • International Crisis and Conflict in the 21^st Century
  • Domestic Crisis and Conflict in the 21^st Century
  • Crisis and Conflict Management Strategies for the 21^st Century

The program features a variety of scholars with expertise in crisis and conflict from Carey and SAIS (see below for list of current participants). These and other subject matter experts will seek to combine different disciplinary perspectives in a way that ultimately makes crisis and conflict more comprehensible and tractable.

This event is open to interested researchers from across Johns Hopkins University, as well as others by invitation.
