Shifting Ground
April 30 and May 1, 2026
9:00 am – 5:00 pm
University of Calgary
Rapid change, resistance, and disruption shape how knowledge is produced, circulated, and understood. Whether encountered at the level of theory, practice, within institutions, or in everyday life, scholars and citizens alike face obstacles that demand adaptation. Shifting Ground considers how academic research and media responds and reflects when familiar infrastructures fall into disarray. To (re)see current, past, or future problems in a new light, scholars employ a wide range of methodologies and innovations, inviting connection to the collective memory.
