doctoral symposium
The opening lecture will be delivered by Maria Gil Ulldemollins, postdoctoral researcher at Hasselt University.
Following her talk, the first part of the symposium will explore the agency of images in shaping empathic encounters between viewers and human or non-human entities—be it other people, objects, gods, or insects.
In the afternoon, the symposium’s second part will foreground reflections on the situatedness and personal experiences of researchers, with contributors addressing their subjective relationship to the objects of their study.
Register here for the doctoral symposium before December 10.
