<p class="elementToProof" style="direction: ltr; text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">LiU Humanities, the platform for collaboration and information exchange supported by the Faculty for Art and Sciences (FILFAK) invites you to reimagine Humanities by sharing
and developing your ideas on the nature, role and meaning of the Humanities in the university and in the society at large. Instead of defending or justifying the humanities it is needed to redefine them to answer the current global entangled challenges - enviro-climatic,
techno-social, geopolitical, onto-epistemic, and biomedical. Contemporary Humanities are then striving to answer the question of what it means to be human today and how humans may reimagine and relaunch our relations with the world, including other humans,
other species, and objects. </span></p>
