International Conference: "Radiant Futures" (Liège, 9-10 October 2025)
Dear Colleagues,
The Spiral Research Centre at the University of Liège is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2025. Created in 1995, Spiral has developed into a vibrant STS community practicing fundamental and applied research, methodological innovation and interdisciplinary conversation across the social sciences and humanities. An anniversary provides the occasion to pause and reflect on past, present and future; it is a moment of recollection and anticipation: to single out and emphasize what matters. Remembering, looking ahead, and celebrating work best in the good company of others, which is why Spiral is organizing a conference on “Radiant Futures” in Liège, Belgium, on October 9-10, 2025, and you are invited to participate by submitting an abstract.
We aim to bring together both friends and colleagues from the academic community around parallel sessions, a Making & Doing session, and keynote presentations by Kristin Asdal (University of Oslo), Hannah Landecker (University of California – Los Angeles) and Brice Laurent (CSI-Mines Paris-Tech). Of course, there will be plenty of time to celebrate!
A detailed description of the Radiant Futures theme and the three thematic and making & doing sessions can be found here, and in the pdf annexed.
Our call for papers is open until May 15, 2025 (see important dates below). Abstracts of max. 250 words should be submitted to radiant.futures2025@gmail.com.
Best regards,
Kim Hendrickx, also on behalf of Pierre Delvenne and our colleagues at Spiral
