This conference aims to encourage scholars to look at political, social, cultural, and economic conflict and resistance and to examine how conflict and resistance has shaped and changed the world. Wars, activism, political upheaval, economic fluctuations are amongst the events that influence world history. Furthermore, the conference encourages graduate studies to analyze how people have reacted to historical conflict and resisted accordingly, thus changing the course of history. Through research presented this conference will demonstrate the importance of conflict and resistance in history and how it brought us to the 21st century. This conference is designed to allow for research and examination of “Conflict and Resistance” broadly.
