| 6 March 2013 | 9:30 | Varieties of Post-Humanism: Policy as Practice and Performancethis interdisciplinary "Bridging the Gaps" workshop will gather representatives from science, policy, social sciences and humanities to offer various perspectives on post-humanism. The theme is highly pertinent to current debates on governance of science and technology in light of emergent technological capabilities. Speakers will present different takes on post-humanism: as object of social science and humanities inquiry; scientific practices leading to the creation of computing technologies imitating human capacities; and policy as practice and performance. The articulation of policy is a performative speech act that directs and in many cases alters behaviour. The aim of the event is to create a cross-disciplinary dialogue on post-humanism that also addresses the performative role of policy. Full details | Research events | Streatham Court 0.28 |
