The Posthuman Turn: Chances and Challenges
The Faculty of Languages, MSA University is pleased to launch its Second International Conference “The Posthuman Turn: Chances and Challenges” in October 2023.
At a time of cultural, economic, and geopolitical crisscrossing, post-humanism emerged as an interdisciplinary area that re- evaluates the ‘humanness’ and ‘the human’ while embracing transformational/ ‘transhumanist’ perspectives to improve interconnectedness and to extend ‘moral concerns’ from human to nonhumans. Generally, post-humanism keeps on spurring ongoing questions that define the human, nonhuman and inhuman configurations while emphasizing that the ‘post’ in posthuman does not indicate the end of humanity but a reconsideration of institutionalized definitions.
With a backdrop of such convergent and irreconcilable approaches, this conference aims to address the various implications of posthumanism for contemporary issues such as environmentalism, animal rights, gender, race, and ethics, while embracing its interdisciplinary nature. The conference offers an engaging platform for academicians, theorists, and artists to share their ideas and interpretations of emerging concepts in fields of humanities across different cultures and contexts. Papers from various fields and disciplines are welcomed to pronounce the questions related to this area.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- The posthuman condition: reflections and approaches
- Human and non-human embodiment
- Posthumanism, transhumanism and AI
- Posthuman approaches to disability studies
- Modes of being: reconfiguring the human and the non- human
- Transhumanism: the enhancement of the human condition
- Emerging technologies and ethics
- Post humanism and education: policies, practices, and approaches
- Translation in a post human world

Transnational Multidisciplinary Research Conference
Welcome to MSA transnational conference with our partner University of Greenwich UK on research that takes place at MSA University Campus on Tuesday 2nd October, 2018 from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.
Scientific meetings are one of the primary venues for scientists to present their new work to their colleagues with the purpose of receiving feedback at an early stage of their research. They serve as an informal peer review that can help researchers to develop, clarify, and refine their work, and thus they are an integral part of the process of science.
TMRC aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars from MSA, Greenwich and other universities to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Pharmacy, Biotechnology, Management Sciences, Computer Science and Engineering.
This will allow scientists to present their most up-to-date findings and receive feedback from colleagues, which certainly will help them to improve their ideas. Additionally, we will have the opportunity to attend numerous exciting talks and poster sessions while at the convention. As these presentations often represent the most cutting-edge research available, they can provide you with valuable information far earlier than if you had waited for the publication.
Our conference will give you the chance to listen to different points of view and learn new ideas and trends in your field. They also provide you with new techniques, new types of equipment, data that is yet to be published, and investigators that you may not have heard of.

Prophylactic spaces is a new term in architecture that appeared after the global pandemic of COVID – 19. This term will reshape the future of architecture and it is becoming an integral part of the future city resilience. Adapting that term in designs became mandatory for architects in order to endure the current pandemic without further spread of the virus among occupants of the space.
As we are currently preparing ourselves to welcome the new academic year, it is very important to insure a non-infectious and safe environment between students and faculty members. Therefore, our workshop aimed to discuss and create prophylactic academic spaces within the context of MSA University.
Registration is limited for already registered authors/attendees and 4th and 5th cycle undergraduates MSAians.
