<p>Dr. habil Tanja Bogusz will speak at the Kölner Kongress "Erzählen gegen die Krise", organized by Deutschlandfunk Kultur.</p>
<p>Her talk "Mensch und Meer – Wie erzählt man von einer Katastrophe ohne Ereignis?" will take place on Saturday, at 11.30 o'clock at the PD Konferenzraum.</p>
<p>"Sailor's yarn, storm tides and Expeditions into the unknown: The relationship between human beings and the sea is as old as human history itself. No wonder: the sea was there long before humans became a relevant factor in the development of the Earth's history.</p>
<p>At the latest since the debate about the Anthropocene, the human influence on the state of the world's oceans has been a topic of debate in the natural sciences. Plasticisation, climate change, the melting of the polar ice caps and the decline of important marine species have been incorporated into scientific data surveys and subsequent appeals for marine protection.</p>
<p>What is less well known is that the social and cultural sciences have also recently begun to take a closer look at the sea. Under the collective term "marine social sciences", they are investigating social aspects of sea-human relationships. And so sociologists and cultural scientists are setting off on sea voyages in Frisian mink and rubber boots, driven by the vision of a "sociology of the sea" in the age of the Anthropocene."</p>

(sts-leakage.org) (March 2024 at TU-Dresden). We are looking forward to receiving contributions! Deadline for submissions is already on the 15th of October 2023.</p>

<p>Call for Contributions: Marine stsing Panel, inaugural conference of German STS association stsing e.V. –</p>
<p>(Un)leaking marine and coastal ecosystems</p>
<p>Conference Dates: March 19-22, 2024; Location: TU Dresden</p>
<p>About the Panel:</p>
<p>Do leakages exist in marine and coastal ecosystems? The answer might be “yes” or “no”, or both at the same time. Current marine social science research proposes three possible approaches:</p>
Thinking through a “wet ontology” (Peters & Steinberg 2015), the ocean embodies a world of constant flows, connections, and liquidities, forever evolving. Such a perspective, stressing the material and phenomenological peculiarities of the ocean challenges to reimagine the world (ibid.) and comprise the ocean as being in a perpetual state of “leaking” or in a state of “unleaking”. “Leakage”, reflected through the lenses of marine ontology, seems, here, either taken for granted or paradoxical to think through.
Yet, thinking through marine and coastal ecosystems as a network of materialities, species, practices, and human beings, allows for exploring “leakages” within marine and coastal ecosystems. Unwanted “leakages” in gas pipelines, for instance, stoke fear concerning the potential impact on marine lives and societies. The introduction of so-called “invasive species”, such as the Chinese mitten crab or lionfish “invading new waters”, underscores “leakages” within oceanic habitats resulting from human classifications. Sinking container ships could impact marine fauna and flora by “leaking” consumer goods and substances. The UN High Seas Treaty, has just illuminated targeted “leakages” of oceanic concerns, materialities, species, and governance, thereby exemplifying the political and economic dimensions of leakages.
Thinking through knowledge systems, finally, the ocean knowledge system has predominantly been shaped by natural scientists, and academics, primarily from the Global North. While marine social scientists recently seeped into the ocean knowledge system providing important societal knowledge, their approach has often been grounded in “marine empiricism” (Bavinck & Verrips 2020). Reconsidering this ocean knowledge system calls for a transgression of a boundary, for a provoked “leakage”: a “leakage” that enables collaboration between marine social sciences, the natural and engineering sciences, and civic society, but also promotes thinking through the “sea as a theory machine” (Helmreich 2015).
<p>In this interdisciplinary panel, we invite scholars and practitioners from diverse fields to join us exploring the complex and dynamic interactions between sea, science, technology, society, and marine and coastal ecosystems. Our panel will provide a platform for examining oceanic “entanglements of what may count as leakage, leaky, or leaking” through STS-methodology.</p>
<p>Key Themes and Topics:</p>
<p>We invite contributions that address a wide range of topics within the realm of marine and coastal environment research, with a specific focus on the intersection with Science and Technology Studies and the overall conference theme of “leakages”. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:</p>
<p>Methodological approaches and empirical gains and challenges in conducting STS research in marine and coastal environments. <br>Seeing like a sea? Exploring marine social theories.<br>Technoscientific innovations and their impact on coastal communities, marine conservation, and sustainable practices.<br>The role of transdisciplinary and civic society expertise in shaping marine economies and policies.<br>Social justice, inclusion, and exclusion in marine and coastal research and conservation efforts.<br>Knowledge leakages, e.g. indigenous knowledge in coastal and marine research; or the critical need for methodological innovation and inter- and transdisciplinary marine cooperations.</p>

<p>From Ocean Exploration to Societal Action: Enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration for the UN Decade of Oceans.</p>
<p>The global threat of the world’s oceans becomes increasingly tangible. Within the ongoing UN Ocean Decade (2021-2030), the workshop assembles 30 marine researchers from the natural and the social sciences to develop cross-disciplinary transformative research for the protection and sustainable use of the ocean in the Anthropocene. We bring together established marine experts to profile the state and future of German marine research along three key issues: a) empirical methods, b) marine science policy, and c) collaborative research. The workshop concludes with a joint position paper presenting strategies for future interdisciplinary marine collaboration.</p>

Anthropological and Sociological Perspectives".</p>
<p>When: Wednesday, July 6th, 6:15 PM (Berlin time)<br></p>
<p>Where: live in Lecture Room H, Von-Melle-Park 9.</p>
<p>The talk and the Q&A will be in English.</p>
<p>Abstract: In line with the aim of the CSS Lecture Series to ‘disorient’ ecological debates and to create a horizon for critical thinking “after sustainability”, this event reflects on current environmental, climatic and sanitary crises through the lens of increasingly problematic human-environmental relations. Confronted with the widespread failure of attempts to sustainably organize modern societies, anthropologists and sociologists approach globally heterogeneous modes of knowing the environment and accounting for ecological crisis situations. But what does it mean to investigate on human-environmental relations in crisis? And how can anthropological and sociological perspectives complement each other to better understand the roots of the current socio-ecological polycrisis, but also to open a space for imagining very different societal relations to nature?</p>
<p>Tanja Bogusz, sociologist and Michael Schnegg, anthropologist, both from Hamburg University, together with Frédéric Keck from the Laboratory of Social Anthropology at the EHESS Paris will discuss these questions in a lively and interactive exchange on what „after sustainability“ could mean within their respective fields of research and within their disciplines – sociology and anthropology.</p>

In ihrem Impulsbeitrag führt Tanja Bogusz diese Entwicklung auf drei Aspekte zurück: Erstens stärken STSForscher:innen inter- und multidisziplinäre Reflexionsweisen – insbesondere die der traditionell besonders weit auseinanderliegenden Natur- und Technikwissenschaften auf der einen, und den Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften auf der anderen Seite – in Zeiten von Klimawandel und Artensterben mithilfe empirisch fundierter Vermittlungsleistungen. Zweitens bieten die STS eine inzwischen über 40 Jahre entwickelte Kompetenz für die Profilierung, Übersetzung und Integration komplexer wissenschaftlicher Forschungspraktiken, die von der Mikro-Ebene der Alltagsbeobachtung über die Meso-Ebene praxisrelevanter Organisationen bis zur Makro-Ebene transnationaler Wissenschafts-Governance reicht. Gerade weil STSForschung häufig zwischen inter- und transdisziplinären Wissens-Konstellationen vermittelt, bietet sie damit drittens methodologische Lösungsansätze zur Überwindung unproduktiver Differenzen zwischen Natur- und Sozialwissenschaften, die für die Bewältigung der planetarischen Zukunftsaufgaben im Anthropozän dringend benötigt wird. Die STS stellen damit „dritte Wissensräume“ zwischen den Disziplinen zur Verfügung, die zugleich zivilgesellschaftliche Reflexionsprozesse anstoßen können. Es ist zu erwarten, dass diese spezifische Vermittlungs-Expertise angesichts der Zunahme komplexer und disruptiver Krisen und Konflikte in der Weltgesellschaft; aber auch aufgrund der gerade von jüngeren Akademiker:innen mit Begeisterung verfolgten Organisationsfortschritten von STS in Deutschland einen weitere und vielversprechende Relevanzsteigerung erfährt.</p><p>Photo: Tanja Bogusz</p>NAGR-fakws-19879555-production2022-06-01T10:00:00ZOnline Reading group "Marine stsing"<img width="293" height="165" style="float:left" src="https://assets.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/instance_assets/fakws/19879671/marine-stsing-733x414-93509a5b4962145ded90895484b6188f46c3641c.jpg" />
Online Reading group “Marine stsing”
<p>Members from the strategy group “Marine Social and Cultural Sciences” within the German Consortium for Marine Research engage with approaches from within STS and frame their research in corresponding theoretical terms. As a result, the idea to establish a reading group at the nexus of stsing e.V. and marine social science came up. The group is organised by Tanja Bogusz (Hamburg University), Ramona Haegele (DIE Bonn) and Laura McAdam-Otto (Frankfurt University).</p>
<p>We have designed a “double round” reading group that will meet virtually via zoom: during the first round (June-July 2022), we will discuss published (“classic”) texts and case studies; in the second round (October-December), we will focus on contributions and exchanges on empirical material (short manuscripts, fieldnotes, articles) produced by participants. The material might be discussed in view of submission to journals/edited volumes/parts of dissertations, or “just” on the level of methodology, approach, epistemology etc. Join us!</p>
