Flows, Doings, Edges: writing a 'relational' PhD
A postgraduate symposium with Jeannette Pols
Kings College London, 28 August 2007, 10:30am-5pm followed by wine reception
Why?
The relation is the smallest unit of analysis.
Haraway 2003:24
The world is largely messy... Contemporary social science methods are
hopelessly bad at knowing that mess. Indeed it is that dominant
approaches to method work with some success to repress the very
possibility of mess.
Law 2003:3
Who?
Postgraduates working with(in) or around a relational ontological
framework from any social science discipline.
What?
The morning session will focus on the general challenges of
relationality to our research practice, and the afternoon will provide
an opportunity to share ideas and challenges of our own. Participants
will be asked to read an article by Jeannette Pols in advance, and to
submit 1-2 sides of their own research 'material' such as a summary, a
transcript, or images.
