Un-Doing Structures
– in Theory&Practice
The workshop Un-Doing Structures in Theory and Practice explores the historical and contemporary forms of un-doing structures; structures that impede access to knowledge and that are often based on and/or produce anti-Semitic and racist mechanisms of exclusion. The aim of the workshop is to make these visible, to trace their historical forms, with the goal of creating awareness in order to overcome forms of exclusion, to think about and begin to shape a forward-looking, inclusive coexistence.
The sessions take place in monthly reading and discussion rounds, under a thematic focus, within an academic year. At the end of the year, a public panel with audience discussion takes place, or a workshop, a podcast or publications in a WorkingPaperSeries, are produced.
