(Re)Searching Power: Emerging Approaches Across Disciplines
Deadline Expired on January 14, 2024
The doctoral schools of Political Science, Public Policy and International Relations, Sociology and Social Anthropology and Gender Studies at Central European University invite submissions from OSUN scholars to present papers at their interdisciplinary Doctoral Conference on April 17-19, 2024.The conference provides a professional, supportive, and international environment for PhD students and early career researchers in various fields of the humanities and social sciences to discuss their works in progress, establish formal or informal networks, and initiate future collaborative research. The aim is to share understandings of power through different disciplinary perspectives and methodologies by discussing research and practice in terms of institutional, colonial, racialized, gendered, economic, behavioral, or biopolitical power.
Power and its manifestations in social and political relations are shared preoccupations and the focus of analysis across multiple disciplines and fields of research. From the individual to the social, from the classroom to the conflict zone, from autocrats to AI, power defines our daily lives and research. The departments welcome projects that problematize the idea of power in the broadest sense.
Issues to be discussed include: How does the history of colonial power manifest today? How do academics practice our embodied power? How has the neoliberal paradigm shaped (re)production of (labor) power? How has algorithmic power reoriented the normative? What factors are influencing responses concerning the climate crisis? What are the causes and effects of power and how can they be measured?
