Conference: Democracy Reimagined - Advancing Democratic Resilience and Renewal

As democracies face multiple threats, from deepening polarisation and rising extremism to the spread of mis- and disinformation, the concept of democratic resilience has gained renewed urgency. Yet questions remain: What does democratic resilience truly entail? And how can it support broader efforts to renew democracy in the face of these challenges?This conference aims to deepen and expand the conversation around democratic resilience by bringing together an international community of scholars and practitioners. We invite contributions that explore innovative theoretical and empirical approaches as well as effective practical strategies for confronting the critical challenges facing democracies today. Topics of interest include--but are not limited to--declining trust in democratic institutions, the resurgence of far-right and anti-democratic actors, various forms of polarisation, violent extremism, and the role of political institutions, democratic innovations, civil society, social movements, and grassroots initiatives in advancing a more resilient democracy.We welcome theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented papers that engage critically with the concepts of democratic resilience and democratic renewal, including how these are assessed and implemented across diverse contexts. Submissions should clearly identify the specific threat or challenge being addressed and demonstrate how the work contributes to current scholarship and debates on democratic resilience and/or innovation.Please submit an abstract of up to 200 words, along with a short author bio of up to 200 words by 8 August 2025 to Dr Emily Foley (emily.foley@canberra.edu.au).Successful applicants will be notified by 22 August 2025.

KIM DRACULA

Complicated. Genius. Iconic. There is only one Kim Dracula.From humble beginnings in our own Apple Isle to recognition as a bona fide international superstar collaborating with the likes of Korn's Jonathan Davis to Tech N9ne, SeeYouSpaceCowboy and In This Moment; Kim Dracula's journey is the stuff of legends. Hard work and sacrifice is a given, but at the end it is undisputed talent as a vocalist (with a freakish range), musician, songwriter and the most wicked sense of humour and style that sets KD so far above the fray.Following the monumental success of the 2023 debut album, A Gradual Decline In Morale, which has amassed well over 60 million streams worldwide, Kim Dracula continues to redefine modern music with an unapologetic fusion of nu-metal, trap, industrial, jazz, and hyperpop.Kim Dracula’s live shows are a sensory overload, blending theatricality, raw energy, and genre-bending chaos. From wielding chainsaws to emerging from coffins, the performances have solidified a reputation as a must-see artist.“It’s not just a concert it’s a full-on experience. We’re here to shake things up and leave you questioning everything. I’m dying to bring this madness home to Australia!"Joining KD for this most triumphant homecoming is the absolute legend, Wednesday 13 who returns on the back of a sold out Australian tour in 2023 celebrating his former band Murderdolls.The pairing of Kim Dracula and Wednesday 13 is a stroke of evil genius. Fast and dirty, raw, chaotic and macabre. It's tongue-in-cheek horror done to perfection. Murderdolls and Wednesday 13 defined an entire subculture, Kim Dracula has raised the (wooden) stakes and thrown gasoline on the fire.VIP Inclusions:TICKET TO THE SHOW + EARLY ACCESS + M&G WITH BOTH BANDS+ PHOTO OP WITH BANDS + VIP LAMINATE + 1 ITEM SIGNED BY EACH BAND
