UA Ruhr Science Speed Dating
Complex Bodies in Culture, Literature, and Science
- 10.12.2025
The next UA Ruhr Science Speed Dating event on January 15 at TU Dortmund University will focus on "Complex Bodies in Culture, Literature, and Science". This series of events aims to promote exchange between UA Ruhr professors.
The topic opens an interdisciplinary approach to concepts of the body that are examined at the intersection of the humanities, social, technical and natural sciences. It combines cultural and literary analyses with epistemological, medical, and social science perspectives on embodied aspects of disability, chronic illness, prosthetics, gender, sex, racialization, religion as well as processes of normativization and rehabilitation. By bringing together different disciplines' theoretical and methodological approaches to physical diversity, standardization, and social power relations, the event facilitates a low-threshold exchange on common issues and promotes the development of new interdisciplinary research impulses.
Interested parties can register until January 10.
