Seminar: 1pm-4.30pm

CT Tuesday Bar from 4.30pm (incl. pizza from 6pm) in Digital Living Research Commons (DLRC)

Dear CT friend & colleagues

We are glad to welcome many new research members in Cultural Transformations this year, both junior and senior researchers. Great people. We are also planning for one of our CT Bar events in January, and this time it will take place at Digital Living Research Commons (DLRC) at Katrinebjerg. These two ideas made us think of an extended bar event – with time to meet with new colleagues, learn about recent research projects and initiatives, and share some of the research ideas and challenges that many of the CT researchers are working with. Therefore: welcome to this extended CT Bar & Seminar event, we hope to see many of you! The seminar will furthermore give us an opportunity to make a status of how Cultural Transformations is working, and share ideas on how to improve our work.

Preliminary programme:

1pm-3:15pm: Sensitivity and Vulnerability in Cultural Research

Chairs: Carsten Stage and Katrin Tiidenberg

In CT, we have researchers studying sensitive material and vulnerable persons, i.e. people in political conflicts, ill people, and persons’ private online life. Some of the researchers also experience to be vulnerable themselves, engaging in real life material that challenge their own identity, methods and security. We have asked some of the researchers to share their ideas on these issues, and at the same time present their recent research projects and research ideas. (10 minutes per presentation, followed by discussion)
