The Social Impacts of Geopolitics: Interventions to Strengthen Humanity
Today’s geopolitical realities are generating increasing confusion, uncertainty, and social suffering. Across contexts, regions, and imagined futures, the very prospects for humanity are being called into question—in both the near and medium term. What worldviews might inspire a renewed commitment to life, peace, and coexistence among nations, societies, and communities? These are central questions animating the Twenty-Sixth International Conference on Diversity in Organizations, Communities & Nations.
We call on university communities, allied organizations, students, faculty, researchers, postgraduate networks, and centers for interdisciplinary knowledge—as well as decision-makers at every level of public life—to share their insights. We welcome research-based contributions, including findings from preventive protocols and media interventions; models of care and engagement; and practices that nurture transformative relationships and sustainable life systems—systems unmediated by hostile, destructive, or militarized behaviors.
It is essential to reconsider the social impact of effective practices, meaningful experiences, and holistic interventions. We seek the development of participatory technologies, inclusive policies, and forward-looking initiatives that strengthen the social fabric—grounded in ethical commitments to diversity, human rights, identity, and belonging.
Our worldview affirms the values of continuous learning, dignity through difference, and solidarity as a foundation for hope. We call for a renewed role for universities, industries, enterprises, communities, and civil society in advancing institutional reform, economic justice, food security, health and well-being, intercultural harmony, and just peace—aligned with the vision of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In this collective effort, we aim to revitalize our shared humanity.
