EASST Fund supports: Ethnographies of Outer Space: Unveiling the hidden social worlds of space exploration, seminar, 2024, Poland

As humanity’s gaze stretches beyond Earth, popular imaginations paint vivid pictures of interstellar travel, cosmic civilizations and extraterrestrial encounters. Yet, have we considered the very concrete social worlds which make such musings about celestial landscapes possible in the first place? This groundbreaking seminar, “Ethnographies of Outer Space: Unveiling the Hidden Social Worlds of Space Exploration,” ventures beyond the realms of rockets and telescopes into the rich territory of the social studies of outer space. This workshop is hosted by the ARIES project at the Jagiellonian University, with additional funding from EASST.
