International Conference and Training School Organisation: From cosmos to genes: new materialist methodologies crossing the humanities, natural and technosciences

Original language description

With significant movements in human populations, the emerging impacts of climate change, ecological, political, and economic changes and instabilities through to technological and scientific advances, there is an urgent need to reconsider the shifting dynamics influencing critical inquiry. The question arises of how we might best approach the crises and challenges that shape the contemporary European landscape. How do they take the focus of, and impact upon, our research and development agendas? Still an emerging field of analysis, new materialism has had a swift and significant influence within European intellectual production. Specifically, in its way of rethinking the priority of the human in inquiry and social and political change, new materialism offers tools for examining the agency of nonhuman matter in intra-action with human practices. It gives us room to consider the complex apparatuses and relations that motivate, constitute, and are enacted through our research practices. In doing so, it draws attention to the necessarily interdisciplinary nature of contemporary investigations, research and development as well as our role within these. In this vein, the Working Group 2, 'New Materialisms on the Crossroads of the Human and Natural Sciences', of the COST IS1307 Action, 'New Materialism: Networking European Scholarship on "How Matter Comes to Matter"', invites graduate students, postdoctoral, and early career researchers whose work corresponds with, or who have an interest in the potential for new materialisms to inform their inquiries, to the upcoming training school 'From Cosmos to Genes: New Materialist Methodologies Crossing the Humanities, Natural, and Technosciences.' With sessions conducted by a cast of international researchers whose work focuses in new materialist theories and methodologies, or whose specialization within the humanities through to STEM fields brings interdisciplinary queries and provocations to the fore.
