The Cumulus Glasgow 2027 conference, Life After Limits, will take place on 8-11 June 2027 at the Glasgow School of Art, and its call for papers is now open. The conference is a global forum for advancing knowledge, innovation and practice in creative education.
Submissions can be made under the avenues of exploration “Life After…?”, which include the biological body, nature, nations, states and cities, the human mind, planet Earth and the future. Papers that do not fit a theme can still be submitted and will be assigned to a track.
The conference will also host three dialogue sessions on redesigning education, the technological transformation of creative work, and new ways to live with nature. In addition, the Cumulus PhD Network is inviting current PhD students to present their research in a short Pecha Kucha format of 20 slides, each shown for 20 seconds.
