Pracownia Badań nad Pamięcią Zbiorową w Postkomunistycznej Europie POSTCOMER oraz Uniwersyteckie Centrum Doskonałości IMSErt – Zespół Know zapraszają do udziału w międzynarodowej konferencji
Un/Doing Academia in Time of Polycrisis,
która odbędzie się w dniach 8-9 kwietnia 2025 r. w Toruniu.
The escalation of wars has sparked an outcry in academia and motivated scholars to engage in transnational solidarity. Spontaneous movements and campaigns have come to question the role of academia in producing, distributing, and transferring knowledge into a newer arena of engagement and confrontation. Many scholars and researchers continue to speak up and pick a side, problematising relations with academia and their positionality, proximity, and political biases.
- What is (or should be) the role of academia in a time of polycrisis?
- How do scholars produce knowledge in a time ofdramatic political changes, violence and unsettling ideological certainties?
- Does the lack of proper engagement of Academia with wars, human rights violations, and genocide reveal complicity?
