WELCOME

This year’s Technē student-led conference ‘Voices: Past, Present, Future’ seeks to explore the significance of voice in research and society, giving a platform for unheard voices from the past, to establish our voices and those unheard ones in the present, and consider the voices of the future and how these may take shape. Organised by a team of Technē students, this conference will take place online through Zoom on the 24th, 25th and 26th November 2021, with a day dedicated to each strand of ‘Past’, ‘Present’, and ‘Future’. Our schedule includes a range of keynote speakers, presentations, panel discussions and workshops, bringing together an eclectic range of academic disciplines within the Arts and Humanities, enabling all to share their voices, foster interests, and encourage interaction and collaboration.

Day 1 of the conference will focus on voices of the past, with talks and panel discussions on the rich history of spoken and written voices, and how we can study and appreciate them today. For Day 2, we have talks and panel discussions on the voice of the academic researcher in the present, offering crucial advice on the trials of finding one’s voice and one’s place in the academic field. Finally, for Day 3, we look at discovering new voices within the developing interests and concerns of modern society, ensuring inclusivity for all voices in various mediums.
