In June 2013, Continent sponsored its first academic conference in Tirana, Albania. Organized by Adam Staley Groves of the National University of Singapore, Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei of the University of New York in Tirana, and Nico Jenkins of Husson University and the Honors College at the University of Maine, and entitled Pedagogies of the Disaster, the three-day conference featured keynote presentations by Chris Fynsk of the University of Aberdeen, Judith Balso of the Collège International de Philosophie, Paris; European Graduate School, Saas-Fee, Oliver Feltham of the American University of Paris, and Andreas Vrahimis of the University of Cyprus. The conference sought to interrogate and challenge both the idea of teaching as well as being taught, and a catalogue of the event is available from punctum books.^[3]
