Course Director: Prof. Rosi Braidotti
Head Guest lecturer: Dr. Kay Sidebottom

Contact: braidottisummerschool@uu.nl
The focus of Braidotti’s summer school is on ways and means of enacting the notion of the posthuman convergence through a series of applied practices. The focus is on pedagogical practices, ways of transmitting, translating and teaching the posthuman, and of exploring and supporting convergences across disciplines. The format of the intensive course is practice-driven and experimental. The aim is to help participants orient themselves within the ethical, affective and intellectual landscapes of the posthuman convergence: what does it mean to think, enact and teach things posthuman?
Structured into five parts across a week’s time, the program will deepen participants’ engagement with Braidotti’s posthuman theory and affirmative ethics, asking how we might rely on abstract ideas by applying them into teaching and other practices that address the complexities of our times, through a posthuman, affirmative lens.
The fee is €1000,-: all profits made from the summer school will go to the ROSANNA Fund which gives scholarships to women who have limited financial means and who need financial support to help them pursue studies.
