We are delighted to announce that full details of the
guest professor seminars are now available through the link to the right.
There is an exciting choice of topics. Each seminar
comprises two (Stream A) or three (Stream B and C) one-and-a-half hour sessions. The
seminars run in three steams and participants choose one seminar from each
stream:
Stream A:
|
|
|
Affirmative Ontologies (Erzsebet Strausz)
|
|
Dismantling the World: race, resistance,
psychoanalysis (Andreja Zevnik)
|
|
|
Stream B:
|
The End of the International: spectres, ruins,
nostalgia (Tom Lundborg)
|
|
Sovereignties: both Schmitt and Hayek (R. B. J.
Walker)
|
|
Personhood and Politics (Jenny Edkins)
|
|
|
Stream C:
|
Catastriphic, Sublime, and Ludic Events (Michael J
Shapiro)
|
|
Poetics and Political Inquiry (Andrew Davison)
|
|
Amateur Diplomatic
Fragments and Letters (Sam Okoth Opondo)
|
|
|
In addition to these seminars, we have a plenary
seminar - a completely new activity on
this year’s schedule – led by Martin Coward. Martin will explore questions surrounding
visual geopolitics. Then there are three plenary workshops. The first, led
by Himadeep Muppidi, entitled ‘Worlding the postcolonial’, follows on from the
wonderful storytelling workshop he led for the past couple of years. The second
is another continuation of a very successful venture from last year —a pedagogy
and research practice workshop led by Phil Gaydon, Erzsebet Strausz and Yvonne
Rinkart. This workshop takes place over two plenary sessions in the Music Room
on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon/evening and finally a career development
workshop let by Andrew Russell and Andreja Zevnik on Friday afternoon.
Other activities include research surgeries with guest
professors, sessions organised by participants, roundtables, a barbecue,
and hopefully a yoga session to counterbalance all that thinking. There will be
free time too, to enjoy walks and conversation in the beautiful surroundings at
Gregynog.
Any queries, contact us on gregynogideaslab@gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing you in July!
Andreja and Erzsebet.
