Conversations Across Disciplinary Divides is a seminar series which brings together PGR Members from different fields, with two speakers and one chair from three completely different research clusters, who, together, explore how their research intersects. 

About this Event

The fifth Conversations Across Disciplinary Divides will take place on 5th June, 12:00-1:30pm BST in MAB (Mary Allan Building) 104 and online. The term’s Conversations title is ‘Objects, Time & Identity,’ and the speakers, Linh S. Nguyễn (ACRG) and Lily Rose Fitzmaurice (CRCLC), will discuss the (re)negotiation of identities through objects over time, with Shahnaaz Khan (KPP) acting as chair. 

The Speakers will explore the intersections of their research through a Q&A which comprises both audience questions, and questions pulled from a hat. A workshop will follow, consisting of a group brainstorm and discussion, through which we will discuss the role that objects play in mediating identities over time. This workshop will be informal and interactive, and hopes to provoke thoughtful shared reflections regarding embodiment, agency and being-in-time.

Discussion points: Time ○ Agency ○ Narrative ○ Objects ○ Emotion ○ Literature ○ Loss ○ Love ○ Embodiment ○ Intersubjectivity ○ Engagement ○ Meaning-Making ○ Identity ○ (re)negotiation ○ Liminality ○ Power ○ Research

The Conversations format for this event is as follows:

12:00-12:10 Introduction
12:10-12:35 Q&A with Linh and Lily Rose  
12:35-12:50 Brainstorm about Objects
12:50-13:20 Group Object Discussion
13:20-13:30 Collating Shared Reflections 

*Note* For this Conversations, we ask that participants bring an everyday object with them through which we will explore the themes of identity, agency and temporality. 

We hope to see you there!
