Arts of scholaring on a damaged planet: A step forward towards building the academy we want in the Anthropocene
Emerging from a history of extractivism and pollution that has already been world-ending for millions of people, the current epoch in which the living conditions are being unequally ruined at a planetary scale by the impacts of the ongoing power systems of domination calls for a deep transformation. Given this situaiton, to what extent can we address the responsibility of the university, of "academia"?
Drawing on several transdisciplinary approaches, we will gather different sensibilities (scholars, activists and artists) to discuss and imagine the horizons we should aim for and how to walk towards them. For this workshop, we will have a live panel discussion among several guests that will be openned to the audience's participation, followed by some mingle and coffee break, as well as a co-creative short-tale interval to land all the theoretical dicussions into concrete narratives that will help us walk another possible academy.
Please save the date for the workshop on November 12, and register here if you would like to participate. We will shortly confirm the full list of panelists who will be sharing their insights, and the schedule for the event.
DATE: November 12, from 16:00 to 18:30 (doors opening at 15:40)
VENUE: Solidaritetshuset, Tegelviksgatan 40, Stockholm
**The event will be held at Solidaritetshuset, Tegelviksgatan 40, Stockholm. We chose to locate this initiative in Solidaritetshuset because it concentrates the history of multicultural and popular struggles within the diverse Stockholm's peoples, and that way we can move the academia beyond its institutional boundaries and enrich our knowledge and practices together with their knowledge and practices.
