Symposium: “Transversalising the social and political: writing, time; making space”
Doing IPS is delighted to announce a Symposium on ‘Transversalising the social and political: writing, time; making space’ to take place at Queen Mary University of London and online on 14 April 2023.
The symposium explores practices of both space and time making and how they transversalise the political, social and international. By exploring current developments in IPS, it seeks to:
set up a debate on how modes of space making, and the spatial concepts and methods that are being used to analyse them, fracture positionality and identities in contemporary international politics;
explore if giving primacy to temporalities leads to distinctive transversalising approaches in international politics and IPS.
After an introduction and key-note address, two dedicated experts’ roundtables will tackle both issues. This double aim is framed within the ongoing interest in IPS in fracturing familiar repertoires of analysis and practice and the value of understanding contemporary challenges in transversal terms.
The symposium also includes a closed session aimed at setting up a transatlantic writing support network between PhD students and early career researchers from Europe and Latin America. The session will bring together ECRs from four nodal points of the Doing IPS network, namely Belgium, Brazil, the Netherlands, and the UK.
The symposium follows on from the Winter School in International Political Sociology organised at PUC-Rio in July 2022. It is funded by a British Academy Writing Workshop Grant (WW20200143), the LISS-DTP, and the School of Politics and International Relations at Queen Mary University of London.
