IPS Forum Workshop(s): Parallel inquiries into scandal, violence, and the Anthropocene

This event will focus on IPS as a theoretical framework through thematic discussions around the topics of scandal, violence and the Anthropocene. How can IPS help to disentangle power dynamics? What does IPS’ transdisciplinary agenda have to offer to grasp current social and political challenges? Which theoretical tensions can be identified within IPS? Where do we need to situate the contribution of IPS to the literature?

These questions will first be addressed in three parallel workshops (see description below). In an atypical fashion, the discussions will be built on the abstracts submitted by the participants rather than on full papers. Based on the research interests of the participants, their research question(ing)s and challenges, we will engage in conversations led by the rapporteur regarding IPS’ contributions to these topics. These discussions will continue during the plenary session, to take stock of the research lines and contributions identified during each workshop. 

Scientific committee: Morgane Ghys (Université libre de Bruxelles), Julien Jeandesboz (Université libre de Bruxelles), Laura Luciani (Ghent University), Anne Nguyen (Université libre de Bruxelles), Cindy Regnier (University of Liège / Université libre de Bruxelles), Chloé Thomas (Université Saint-Louis Bruxelles), Zeger Verleye (University of Antwerp).
