Goldsmiths, University of London , New Cross, London, SE14 6NW
About the Event
Plenary Speaker: Professor Tara Page
This one-day conference, Matter, Rhizomes, and More-than-Human Sociology, brings together sociologists and other scholars who are increasingly engaging with matter and materialities to disrupt nature/culture dualism and anthropocentric biases.
This conference will explore not only matter and more-than-human relations, but the conditions through which these relations come to matter. Rather than assuming ethics, agency or connection as given, we are interested in how they are made, sustained or remain obscured within institutional and more-than-human arrangements.
The event offers a space to share research, experiment with concepts, and build connections.
We are delighted that our keynote speaker will be Professor Tara Page.
