Bishop Grosseteste University and the University of Szczecin are cordially inviting for the International Pandisciplinary Conference on Solitude in Community that will take place on 25th – 27th April 2024 in Lincoln, UK. The theme of this conference is Mapping the Field: Challenges and Futures. This is part of an attempt to map the field, as the field of solitude studies crosses conventional disciplinary, professional and contextual boundaries, making it all too often a ‘hidden gem’ within other disciplines and fields. “We must meet; we must communicate with one another; we must, it would seem, be alone together” (John Macmurray)

These will be peer reviewed by the conference committee. The theme of this edition is Mapping the Field: Challenges and Futures. This is part of an attempt to map the field, as the field of solitude studies crosses conventional disciplinary, professional and contextual boundaries, making it all too often a ‘hidden gem’ within other disciplines and fields.
