The 2022 conference is dedicated to an exploration of radical utopian thinking and revolutionary praxis. It is intended to create a space where participants can explore the role of utopian (eutopian and dystopian) thinking and practice in addressing some of
the fundamental challenges of our times, from ecocide to the threat of nuclear war, hunger and homelessness and disease, patriarchy and sexual violence, settler colonialism and the genocide of indigenous peoples, disaster capitalism, and resurgent and virulent
new forms of racism, religious intolerance and ethno-nationalism.</div>
