Event overview
The CISP Salon extends its exploration of what it means to “think with care” in Science and Technology Studies.
Building on an understanding of care as an embodied, sociomaterial practice (Puig de la Bellacasa, 2017), we will meet this year to further examine the politics of care in a variety of empirical settings, as well as identify different research methods that might be used to trace and analyse these contested knowledge practices.
In this Salon we will bring our concern with care to the topic of human-animal relations. By focussing our attention on two readings, one on young people from urban backgrounds becoming shepherds (Despret and Meuret, 2016) and the other on laboratory beagles (Giraud and Hollin, 2016), we will explore ways of understanding other modes of living, as well as returning to a more critical mode of addressing care and its “vexations”.
