CULTURAL
LECTURES AND WORKSHOPS
The Price Is Wrong: Why Capitalism Is Not Going to Save Us
What if our understanding of capitalism and climate is back to front? What if the problem is not that transitioning to renewables is too expensive, but that saving the planet is not sufficiently profitable? This is the claim renowned geographer Brett Christophers makes in his latest book, The Price Is Wrong. On March 7th at 20:00 at SPUI 25, he will discuss this premise with a panel of guest speakers.
ACES Conference:
Sustainable Digitalization in Europe
ACES is delighted to host a topical conference exploring the dynamic intersection of digitalization and sustainability in Europe. As the continent embarks on a transformative journey towards a greener and more digital future, this conference aims to address the twin challenge of fostering sustainable digitalization.
Materialities in social science research: Two lectures, one conversation
AISSR Lecture Maria Kaika & Annemarie Mol
Since they arose, the social sciences have tried to liberate themselves from the natural sciences. This opened up space for social science research, but left us ill-equipped to address the material dimension of social life. In this AISSR Lecture, Professors Annemarie Mol and Maria Kaika share their insights on how to better understand the role of materials in social science research.
