Public talk by Jackie Orr - Associate Professor, Sociology, Maxwell School of Syracuse University

Live Transmission: Critical conversations about crafting, performing and making is a series of critical and creative events curated across a week in June (11-14) designed to explore how we transmit and entangle social worlds through new forms of description. The series of events includes a public talk, symposium, sewing workshop, performance, exhibition and curated bike ride around London. Participants will discuss hands-on, object oriented and embodied means of knowing and explore the challenges and possibilities of unlocking new expressions of the social. Our aim is to invite new ways to re-think and re-imagine how we might inhabit our research using new practices, materials, sites or forms and debate what Live Transmission has to offer new modes of social story telling and storytellers. Questions that will be addressed include:
What happens when we don't strip bodies out of our work?
What do we learn from crafting, performing and making our research?
What can and cannot be transmitted?
How can we inhabit the social in new ways?
