Abstract

New theories in the social sciences and humanities regarding matter and human action are having a profound effect on how we need to re-think politics and human responsibility. Come by to explore how objects and processes like nano-particles, 3D printing, bio-art, craft objects, neurons, plastics, placental tissues, and more feature in exciting new research adventures at the forefront of social scientific thinking and practice.
