Conference theme In the wake of the seismic changes brought about across the world by the pandemic, the worrying rise in anti-science rhetoric, the rise of fake news and tweeting politicians, and the climate emergency that remains largely unaddressed, we ask: “Is it time for a new enlightenment, and what role should humanism play?” The Scottish Enlightenment brought progress in many areas of life including philosophy, literature, economics, science, medicine, architecture, art, and music, and enriched and improved the lives of many. We want to explore how a new humanist Enlightenment could address the growing inequalities we face, the irreversible harm we are causing to the planet in the name of progress, disrupt the patterns of power that foster inequality, and challenge the growing body of anti-science and anti-truth rhetoric that threatens democracy. Packed with stunning Victorian and art nouveau architecture, green spaces, and some of the friendliest people on earth, Glasgow is home to the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet, the National Theatre of Scotland, and now the International Humanist Conference 2022! Watch this video for a wee taster of the vibrant city of Glasgow. https://www.humanism.scot/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/1941-conventions-12-10-17_1080p-resize-1.mp4
