Theme for ISC 2023
The 2023 ISC conference theme is Losing and Finding Myself.
We have all experienced cultural shocks when we first set foot in an unfamiliar environment. We may not understand certain sayings, are behind on new movies, and can’t get the meaning of jokes. While dealing with academics at school, we also learn a new culture. In trying to identify our place and role in the unfamiliar environment, we feel disoriented as we find ourselves drifting away from even our own culture.
