2023 IACR Conference
This year’s International Conference on Critical Realism will be hosted by the Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines. It will be both an in-person and online event, but we hope you will consider attending the conference onsite!
Our conference theme is “DESCRIBING + EXPLAINING + EVALUATING: THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD REVISITED”–a theme that intends to provide scholars and researchers–both critical realist and not–an opportunity to take a step back and reflect on the way we investigate phenomena and the underlying assumptions that shape the way we describe and explain them.
In the morning of Day 2 of the Conference (10 August 2023), there will be four panel discussions featuring critical realist scholars who will share how critical realism has informed and enriched their work, followed by a dialogue with other researchers.
