The Urban Terrorism in Europe (2004-19): Remembering, Imagining, and Anticipating Violence<\/a> (UrbTerr) project team at The University of Birmingham has invited Professor Emerita Nina Lykke<\/a> (Department of Thematic Studies (TEMA) \u2013 Gender Studies at Link\u00f6ping University, Sweden & UrbTerr advisory panel member) for a project-related expert seminar on her transdisciplinary, posthumanist oeuvre and her Catalyst<\/em> article from 2019, Co-Becoming with Diatoms: Between posthuman mourning and wonder in algae research<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This session with Prof. Em. Lykke \u2013 which is the first of UrbTerr\u2019s expert reading and discussion seminars at the University of Birmingham \u2013 will zoom in on some of the topics mentioned in the above piece, such as thinking with more-than-human phenomena, poetry as posthumanist knowledge production, and co-becoming as becoming-other, while also establishing connections with UrbTerr\u2019s accentuation of the (im)materiality of (counter)terrorist violence and the conceptual-methodological need for investigating terror and terrorism as haunting phenomena touching and implicating both humans and more-than-humans.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in some of the above themes and would like to join this virtual expert seminar on May the 28th, 2021 (15-17hrs GMT), then please send a short motivational statement (300 words) to e.m.l.geerts@bham.ac.uk<\/a> and k.karcher@bham.ac.uk<\/a>. We are able to host 5 extra participants and will do so on a first come, first served basis while also taking the applicants\u2019 research projects and interests into account. We will be closing the applications on the 15th of May 2021.<\/p>\n
