Reconsidering Detachment: the Ethics and Analytics of Disconnection

Funded by The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH), this interdisciplinary conference will bring together a diverse range of scholars to debate and rethink the dominant academic paradigm of engagement and connectivity. This conference will interrogate practices and ontologies that take detachment seriously, asking how they might broaden our own conceptual tools and methods. Speakers will analyse practices within their own and other academic fields that treat detachment as a valued process.

Information on this conference may be found via the The Detachment Collaboratory website HERE.
