Call for Abstracts
Act, React & Reflect: Meta-perspectives on climate change knowledge
NSU study circle/Summer school, 29 July to 5 August 2024, Lgumkloster
Hjskole, Denmark
In this summer school, we invite participants with an interest in exploring
the role and understanding of knowledge in relation to climate change and
sustainability transitions from different angles and disciplinary
perspectives. The summer school is organized as a guest study circle under the
umbrella of the Nordic Summer University (NSU), a
Nordic independent academic institution fostering interdisciplinary,
non-hierarchical in-depth intellectual exchanges.
We welcome contributions from a wide range of disciplines, including but not
limited to science and technology studies (STS), theory of science,
philosophy, political science, sociology, anthropology, and sustainability
science. We also welcome practitioners interested in reflecting on the
knowledge dimension of sustainability practices. We invite contributions on
any of the following topics:
Expertise and experts
Planning, markets, and economics.
Academic engagement and activism
Climate denial and obstruction
Theorizing sustainability transitions
Boundaries in knowledge production
The aim of the summer school is to provide opportunities for in-depth
discussion and exchanges based on participants' papers and research interests,
meaningful interdisciplinary knowledge exchanges and network building around
joint interests. There will also be opportunity for participation and
cross-fertilization with the other parallel NSU study circles and social
activities.
We welcome in particular PhD students and early career researchers. PhD
students will be awarded 5 ECTS credits for full participation in the summer
school.
Format
The summer school is organized as a guest study circle under the umbrella of
the Nordic Summer University (NSU). It is centered on
in-depth engagement with participants' papers. The summer school will also
host a keynote talk by Darrin Durrant, University of Melbourne. The program
also includes joint workshops where we work together to identify our common
interests and most pressing issues within and across the focus topics. We hope
that the combination of extended paper sessions, workshops and social
activities will stimulate ongoing conversations and network building among
participants.
Keynote
Darrin Durrant, University of Melbourne,
Australia.
Dr. Durant's research focuses on disputes between experts and publics, and he
has published widely on controversies involving nuclear waste management,
nuclear power, public policy about energy options, and more recently is
investigating climate change policy-making and the impacts on democracy of
disinformation and misinformation. In general terms, Dr Durant theorizes the
relations between experts and democratic discussion and decision-making.
