10.00 – 10.30  Laura Beck (Universität Bremen) & Maurice Saß (Alanus Hochschule): General Introduction

Special Issue Theme: Tropical Materialisms: poetics, possibilities, practices

Tropical Materialisms concur on at least three things: humans are always entangled with non-human/material agents; such entanglement is necessary for any creative act to take place; and these same entanglements allow us to interrogate and re-evaluate preconceived notions about the world - from built and natural environments to the fabric of time-and-space.[i] 

Braziers Park School of Integrative Social Research is now inviting applications for 2022 and 2023 research residents. We seek applications from researchers who are seeking to carry out individually led but mutually supported projects that aim to contribute to our understanding of human community and its place in nature. ACRE residents come to live as community members at Braziers on a short-term basis (usually 6-12 months, but shorter periods considered) and contribute to the community (in part) through their research.
