Following the success of its inaugural event, the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) is set to host the second Congress of New Research in Humanities on 13 November, starting at 10:00 am. The congress aims to redefine approaches and methodologies in the humanities and cultural studies, providing a platform for both pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students to share their research and discuss emerging projects.
Young researchers from five different universities will gather in Lugo to present projects addressing a range of topics, including art, history, literature, archaeology, digital humanities, film, and heritage interpretation.
The event will kick off with a keynote lecture by Arturo J. de Lombera Hermida, a professor at the University of Oviedo, who will discuss the excavations at the Cueva de Eirós. The congress will conclude with a talk by Miguel A. Cajigal Vera, widely known on social media as El Barroquista, who will explore the theme of cultural dissemination in the 21st century.
Coordinated by Patricia Cupeiro López and Rubén Castro Redondo, the congress will focus on emerging, transdisciplinary, and innovative approaches, fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue that integrates knowledge from various fields. Topics of discussion will include technological advancements, decolonial perspectives, climate change concerns, gender issues, and professional ethics.
Attendance is free and open to anyone interested, subject to venue capacity. The session coordinators will keep a record of attendees so that those who wish can obtain a certificate of participation.
