Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The event serves as an open forum for the history of knowledge and science and is primarily designed for doctoral students in these and related fields. We aim to explore current trends in the field - e.g. renewed interest in activism and counter-knowledge, epistemic decolonization, a critical history of data and resources, new materialism, incorporation of natural-scientific concepts and findings, or the move from historical to political epistemology. The focus will be on the discussion of pre-circulated drafts from ongoing dissertation projects. These discussions will be framed by joint readings of recent publications and presentations by invited colleagues. Discussions will be in English, unless the discussed chapter is in German and the presenter prefers to discuss in German
