What’s in a good life? 3nd cross-sectional conference

Welcome to the 3rd cross-sectional conference What’s in a good life? located at Ansgar University College in Kristiansand, Norway 14-15 June 2027. The topic of the 2027 conference is HOPE. We welcome you to explore questions about what nurtures hope in an all too often despairing world, from different perspectives and disciplines.

“What’s in a good life” is an open-ended question that reflects a humanistic approach to research within multiple fields. In this conference, we wish to shed light on the question from the fields of psychology, philosophy, theology, intercultural studies, music and arts. In addition to paper presentations from the individual fields, the conference will facilitate cross-sectional dialogues on the conference topic.
