Critical-Connective Tissue brings together scholars, practitioners, and experts from fields such as literature, sociology, women’s studies, media studies, design, information studies, mathematics, political economy, religious studies, media technology, and environmental history to deliberate on a set of questions, for which the connectivity between the humanistic and other domains, the university, and the outside world plays a key role.
At the center of attention is the “how” of deploying humanistic and critical knowledge at scale to respond to the complex, intriguing, and often urgent issues the world is facing, which is necessary to build stronger university-level capacity to respond to societal challenges and complex problems across issues, perspectives and disciplines. Such engagement needs to be outward-facing and richly collaborative across knowledge traditions. It also needs to touch ground, be lived, as well as structural and sustainable. Additionally, it must be critical and constructive at the same time (critiquing, studying, writing, deconstructing, contextualizing, challenging, imagining, changing, designing, building, making), also in relation to the capacity building itself.
This is a mostly in-place workshop. Some selected parts may be live streamed (check https://www.critical-connective.com/ for updates).
Curator: Patrik Svensson.
