We live in a world that is ever more globally connected, often in enmity as much as amity, and thus at the same time more unequal and conflicted than at any previous moment in history. In this dangerous time, thinkers and civil-society practitioners from the Global South have much to offer in their reflections upon the ways we might live together in proximate communities of co-existence. The Spring School seeks to open up a plethora of perspectives on such possible modes of co-existence so that students can explore further themselves the ideas tabled by the participants.
This Spring School brings together visiting lecturers from Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Australia and Europe to present a wide palette of research and project-driven perspectives on a range of topics (education, arts-based research, gender, migration, climate change, indigenous knowledges, peace-building, the medical humanities, the Indian Ocean World, sound studies, rituality studies, etc.). The lecturers will offer glimpses into their areas of research and international collaborations that together, in panels gathering between 2 and 5 speakers, will provide students with insights into a rich pattern of contemporary reflections from the Global South.
