Supradisciplinary approaches to feminist technoscience
Last week the very first Uppsala Supradisciplinary Feminist Technoscience Symposium was held at the Centre for Gender Research, focusing on supradisciplinary and indigenous methodologies. - This symposium was in a way experimental, we didn’t really know what would happen when we started it. I’m surprised how well it turned out, says organizer May-Britt Öhman.

CFP - Bodies in Crisis
We now invite submissions for the fifth meeting with the network Gender, Body, Health, an international conference under the theme “Bodies in Crisis”.

Upcoming symposium
The anthropocentrism of existing methods and approaches fits uncomfortably with the contemporary questions of animal studies. Issues of scientific rigor, representativeness, anthropomorphism, relevance, objectivity and ethical concerns emerge as Animal Studies pursues this necessary critical development. Humanimal encounters demand ethnographies of animals, humans, cultures and disciplines. Consequentially a Zoo-ethnographies approach calls us to examine the methods and methodologies implemented in our zoo-sensitive enquiries, to critique methodological orthodoxies and use the existing approaches and methods creatively. This pre-conference therefore brings together a range of speakers from a variety of disciplines to examine the challenges and possibilities of methods which work with animal presence.
