The LIFE Conference aims to create a space for critical discussion of the challenges and opportunities of studying multiple vulnerabilities from different disciplines and using different methodologies.
The LIFE conference aims to stimulate debate on conceptual approaches and methodological strategies for the in-depth study of vulnerability in different contexts. While several methods have been adopted to measure vulnerability, the subjective dimension of the concept and the emphasis on the agency of vulnerable groups have challenged conventional methodologies and called for innovative approaches.
However, how to study vulnerability has been less discussed across the social sciences. Visual, creative, sensory and participatory approaches could be strategically used to study vulnerability.
This discussion is of paramount importance as we need to rethink and reinvent the methods we choose to increase the richness of the data we collect. We invite theoretical and empirical papers on conceptual and methodological approaches to vulnerability. Conceptual challenges to vulnerability research, empirical studies and especially methodological innovations are priorities.
