XV. International Bauhaus-Colloquium | Politics of Research
\nAbstract
\nResearch at universities is inherently political\, a fact made all the more evident during times of intensifying social and political polarisation when politicians denounce universities as »\;enemies«\;. But also within academia itself\, the constitution\, purposes\, and approaches of research are brought into question. The XV. International Bauhaus Colloquium invites researchers from the humanities\, arts\, and architecture\, from across different discourses and geographies to critically examine the politics that underlie\, shape\, or result from research. As an interdisciplinary academic event\, it aims to create a platform for exploring how research deals with power relations\, institutional structures\, funding systems\, epistemologies\, socio-cultural contexts\, and dynamic publics. Politics of research manifest themselves on the level of specific research projects as well as on the level of procedures and frameworks \;as such. In addition to issues of access\, representation\, and ethics\, the Colloquium will address critical and criticising practices. It will also highlight the ways in which research may both reinforce and challenge dominant hierarchies.
