Nineteenth Global Studies Conference
- Bridging Boundaries: Collaborative Solutions to Complex Social Issues in an Interconnected World
- 15-17 July 2026
- University of Galway, Galway, Ireland + Online
The Global Studies Research Network is devoted to mapping and interpreting past and emerging trends and patterns in globalization. We aim to traverse a broad terrain, sometimes technically and other times socially oriented, sometimes theoretical and other times practical in their perspective, and sometimes reflecting dispassionate analysis while at other times suggesting interested strategies for action. Our aim is to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries.
The Nineteenth Global Studies Conference calls for research addressing the following annual themes.
We're happy to share the schedule of sessions for the Nineteenth Global Studies Conference. We update the schedule on a weekly basis, so please make sure to check back regularly, as the schedule is subject to change. If you've recently registered but are not yet scheduled, your presentation should appear here within the next week. Because this is a draft schedule, you may be the only paper currently in your session; don't be concerned—we'll include more papers as we update the schedule.
If you have any issues locating your presentation in the event schedule, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The Nineteenth Global Studies Conference will feature plenary sessions by some of the world's leading thinkers and innovators in the field.
