About Knowledge Beyond Boundaries 2024

This year’s conference draws on the 2024 Festival theme of power and politics: where does the power lie to face key global challenges? How can politics change the course of our future? We welcome student research from across the social sciences which considers how the power of individuals and collectives are shaping the world, and how global political shifts and transformations are shaping us.

Panels and sessions at this year's conference will address a wide range of thematic areas from across the social sciences which connect to issues of power and politics, including AI development and regulation, democratic governance, migration and refugees, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and many more.

These panels will include time for Q&A and discussion. Each panel will include a discussant (typically an LSE researcher with expertise relevant to the panel theme) who will provide feedback on presentations and facilitate discussion and dialogue between panellists and conference attendees.
