mapping the ways the knowledge iscreated in our times. These times, however,
are becoming increasingly fraughtwith both man-made and naturals risks, crises
and disasters: pandemics,economic and political crises, climate change, rapid
technologicaldevelopments, and resurgence of armed conflicts. This opens, once
again,questions of our vulnerability – as individuals, societies, even as a
species –to consequences of these events.
The theme of the 8thannual NKL conference is, therefore, focused on the ways
of acknowledging andunderstanding vulnerabilities, as well as on the potential
uses of bothknowledge and the ways of acquiring knowledge in order to mitigate
them. Theaim of the conference is to explore vulnerabilities caused by risks,
