For more information on the workshop events, please see our blog post.
Each session will last 1.5 hours: the first part will be devoted to the reading material. Throughout the second part, we hope to confront theory with case studies from the literature, the arts and politics. We highly encourage participants to bring examples to the table that could be relevant to the questions discussed and could operate as an impulse for the collective discussion as well as an opportunity to share research (although this is not a prerequisite for participation to the group).
