(Conference: Dundee, Scotland – 18–21 May 2026)
The Global Alliance for Tibet & Persecuted Minorities (GATPM) is pleased to extend its strong support to the organisers of the upcoming interdisciplinary conference, hosted by the Congress of Nations and States (CNS), the Dundee Just Transitions Hub (DJTH), University of Dundee, and the University of Stirling.
Themed “Mass Atrocities, Environmental Degradation, and Communities’ Rights: Lived Experiences from the Peripheries,” this landmark gathering in Dundee (18–21 May 2026) will convene voices from indigenous and marginalised communities worldwide. It provides an essential platform to examine the intersections of systemic violence, environmental harm, and community rights – issues deeply felt by the communities GATPM represents.
As an alliance representing communities long subjected to mass atrocities, cultural erasure, and environmental injustices, GATPM recognises the urgent need for academic and policy-driven dialogue to foster meaningful change. We firmly believe that inclusive forums such as this conference are vital in amplifying affected voices, promoting justice, and developing sustainable, community-led solutions.
We commend the organisers for their commitment to centring lived experiences and traditional knowledge in addressing global challenges. GATPM encourages all interested individuals and institutions to engage with this initiative, submit proposals, and contribute to this critical international dialogue.
Call for Submissions (Deadline: 15 October 2025):
- Explore themes of mass atrocities, indigenous and minority rights, environmental degradation, and just transitions.
- Submission formats include academic papers, artistic expressions, performances, and cultural heritage displays.
