No próximo dia 23 de Junho, das 14h às 16h, realiza-se o Workshop Re-Imagining Knowledge in Unsettled Times, dinamizado por Beatriz Rey (ICS-ULisboa) e Joshua Sooter (Investigador Visitante no ICS-ULisboa). O evento terá lugar na Sala 3 do ICS-ULisboa, e online. A entrada é livre mas sujeita a inscrição aqui.

Abstract:

Across disciplines, researchers are increasingly confronting a world in flux. Many of the assumptions about institutional stability, causal relationships, and even the coherence of the social world that have grounded research are becoming less secure. Established categories no longer fully capture the phenomena we seek to understand; empirical regularities appear less stable; and the distance between observation, interpretation, and explanation is becoming harder to sustain. These shifts raise a more fundamental question: how do we produce and act with knowledge under these conditions? If the world no longer fits our analytical frameworks, research cannot be limited to answering questions – it must also involve rethinking how those questions are formulated, what counts as evidence, and what rigor means in practice, as well as the structures and institutions that foster this work. This event brings together graduate students from across disciplines to engage directly with these challenges. Rather than presenting finalized conclusions, it creates a space for collective reflection on the uncertainties within participants’ own research processes. The discussion will be facilitated by Beatriz Rey (Researcher/ICS-ULisboa) and Joshua Sooter (Visiting Researcher/ICS-ULisboa), who will guide a conversation on methodological adaptation, epistemic limits, and the future of inquiry. We particularly encourage students and educators at all levels and in all disciplines (including the hard, natural, and applied sciences and the arts) to participate in this open, guided dialogue.
