Re-distributing Expertise Workshop

Creativity – Conditions – Materiality
Science, Technology and Culture theme of the HASS Strategy

As co-production and public engagement with science and technology has superseded a more communicative public understanding agenda, it is useful to take stock of the ways in which expertise is imagined, spatialised, co-ordinated, or otherwise, within science.  How, in turn, are publics imagined and produced?

This half-day workshop will examine the creativity, the conditions, the materiality of re-distributing expertise; exploring University of Exeter’s existing intellectual strengths and potentials for on-going and future interdisciplinary collaboration.

In advance of the workshop, participants will be provided with key readings to guide and inform an afternoon of open discussion and idea-sharing, led by six discussants:

• Professor Steve Hinchliffe (Geography)
• Dr Christine Hauskeller (Philosophy)
• Dr Karen Bickerstaff (Geography)
• Mr Philip Johnstone (Geography)
• Professor Richard Owen (Business School)
• Ms Marfuga Iskandarova (Business School)

All are welcome to attend. Lunch will be provided. To register for the event and access the key readings, please contact Dr Martina Tyrrell in Geography m.a.tyrrell@exeter.ac.uk.
