Research in the Age of Trumpism
Wednesday 21 January, 15:30 - 18:00, Turnzaal.
This colloquium hosted by the AMC and MUSTS programmes will involve, and is open to, members of all four research programmes. We begin with a panel of speakers followed by breakout group discussions on what effects, positive and negative, the global turn toward illiberalism is having on our research, and how can we help each other to adapt. With Cyrus Mody, Eliza Steinbock, Mariëlle Wijermars, Matthew Archer, Arjun Sharma and Brigitte le Normand.
After the discussion the ReMA Cultures of Art, Science, and Technology second-year students will give a poster session reporting on their internships this fall. Everyone is invited to mingle with the students, learn about their internship projects, and enjoy light refreshments.
