Research Week: 'Thinking in Common: "Resilience"'
In this 26 October Western Sydney University Research Week event, we explore the concept of resilience and ask whether resilience can provide a way of describing other and better economies, politics, cities and forms of caring for people and places in these dark times.
Knowledge/Culture/Ecologies International Conference 2017
The Institute for Culture and Society will co-host the Knowledge/Culture/Ecologies international conference at Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago, Chile from 15–18 November 2017.
As the idea of the ecological has undergone massive renovation across numerous disciplines from geography to philosophy to science and beyond, the key aim of this conference is to explore current transformations in socioecologies and to generate knowledge practices capable of understanding their formation and complex reverberations.
