The aim of the forum is therefore the exchange of experiences between scientists who want to experience and change the limits of current scientific communication.

01-02.12.2022 | Conference: Thinking through "The Transnational": A Tumultuous Task?
The overall goal of this conference is to improve understandings of how sociologists can mobilize transnationalism at the local and international levels to respond to and account for present-day social transformations through academic work. The nation-state is often the starting point used to understand social change within society: what is included or excluded as important groups and processes for understanding these changes and the social inequalities that manifest (or are mitigated) from them. The concept of transnationalism as a corrective to methodological nationalism offers an opportunity to expand accounts and explanations of social transformations beyond these limited geographical and imagined boundaries of the nation, and thus who and what constitutes 'the social' as a result. yet. In fact, transnational lenses may be leveraged to paradoxically reinforce concepts of society as confined within a nation-state world order.

09.-12.11.2022|"Rethinking Relations: Michel Serres and the Environmental Humanities". International Conference
This conference is dedicated to dialogues between the environmental humanities and the boundary-defying philosophical thinking of Michel Serres (1930-2019). It extends an invitation to think beyond and with Serres to mobilize his work in relation to disciplines and fields that include media studies, design, literature, history, classics, sociology, philosophy, and psychology. Our international contributors attend to the ecological paradigms that inform both his polyphonic prose and hybrid subject matter to explore modes of generous, reciprocal, and ethical encounters for urgent, transdisciplinary, and experimental responses of the arts and humanities to ecologies in crisis.
Visitors are welcome. If you would like to attend, please register by sending an email to . No registration fee.
