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.
