SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Geophilosophies (3): Cross-Cultural Thinking in Precarious Times
DESCRIPTION:In this era of global disorientation\, marked by unfolding ecological crises\, ongoing wars fueled by technological competition\, the idea of dialogical engagement and even more so the idea of cross-cultural thinking\, feels like a nostalgic dream. In the wake of the international order’s dismantling and the ruinous acceleration of techno-capitalism\, social discontent has been channeled into extreme nationalisms that promise a ‘homecoming’ at the expense of outsiders\, immigrants\, refugees. Adding to these woes\, intellectual efforts to challenge the ‘dogmatic images’ of thinking that have ruled by elevating particular epistemologies to the level of ‘global thought\,’ are being increasingly stymied by capitulant institutions. Yet\, it is precisely in such precarious times that cross-cultural thinking seems more necessary than ever\, not least as an antidote to the ongoing segregation of knowledges and thought-systems currently underway.\n    	\nThis conference is part of a series of events organized under the Geophilosophies initiative. As a project Geophilosophies not only calls attention to thought-systems that continue to be erased\, discredited\, or ignored by dominant cultures\, but more importantly\, encourages the kind of deep conceptual encounter between different traditions of thought with the capacity to effect real psychic\, social and ecological change. We define cross-cultural thinking as the kind of engagement that strives for maximum communication\, unlike the concept of ‘border crossing’ which we see as a vestige of nation-state sovereignty. Thus defined\, cross-cultural thinking is transversal and ecosophical by nature\, inasmuch as it strives for modes of thinking grounded in lived practices and experiences that effortlessly bring incompatible concepts and entities into new associations characterized by their mutual self-transformation. On this note\, we invite presentations that re-examine unexplored avenues in cross-cultural philosophical thinking\, aiming to repair fractured connections between self\, society and world amid today’s global turmoil. We are particularly interested in experimental methodologies that explore: (i) the nature of contact zones between concepts\, praxes\, and worldviews\; (ii) the co-imbrication of one’s subjectivity in cross-cultural encounters. We encourage risk-taking\, for example\, by resisting the kind of knowledge specializations that may prevent genuine engagement between differences and that work through two or more traditions of thought to create an ‘in-between’ idiom that is at home in its homelessness.\n \nPursued in collaboration with the Uberoi Foundation\, an organization that is dedicated to cross-cultural exchange and expanding awareness of diverse traditions\, this conference promises to break new ground in the development of ways of thinking that simultaneously draw upon ancient human wisdoms while also being informed by the urgency of the present global moment\, bringing a diasporic consciousness to a world seduced by the alluring false comfort of restrictive nationalisms.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Geophilosophies (3): Cross-Cultural Thinking in Precarious Times
DESCRIPTION:In this era of global disorientation\, marked by unfolding ecological crises\, ongoing wars fueled by technological competition\, the idea of dialogical engagement and even more so the idea of cross-cultural thinking\, feels like a nostalgic dream. In the wake of the international order’s dismantling and the ruinous acceleration of techno-capitalism\, social discontent has been channeled into extreme nationalisms that promise a ‘homecoming’ at the expense of outsiders\, immigrants\, refugees. Adding to these woes\, intellectual efforts to challenge the ‘dogmatic images’ of thinking that have ruled by elevating particular epistemologies to the level of ‘global thought\,’ are being increasingly stymied by capitulant institutions. Yet\, it is precisely in such precarious times that cross-cultural thinking seems more necessary than ever\, not least as an antidote to the ongoing segregation of knowledges and thought-systems currently underway.\n    	\nThis conference is part of a series of events organized under the Geophilosophies initiative. As a project Geophilosophies not only calls attention to thought-systems that continue to be erased\, discredited\, or ignored by dominant cultures\, but more importantly\, encourages the kind of deep conceptual encounter between different traditions of thought with the capacity to effect real psychic\, social and ecological change. We define cross-cultural thinking as the kind of engagement that strives for maximum communication\, unlike the concept of ‘border crossing’ which we see as a vestige of nation-state sovereignty. Thus defined\, cross-cultural thinking is transversal and ecosophical by nature\, inasmuch as it strives for modes of thinking grounded in lived practices and experiences that effortlessly bring incompatible concepts and entities into new associations characterized by their mutual self-transformation. On this note\, we invite presentations that re-examine unexplored avenues in cross-cultural philosophical thinking\, aiming to repair fractured connections between self\, society and world amid today’s global turmoil. We are particularly interested in experimental methodologies that explore: (i) the nature of contact zones between concepts\, praxes\, and worldviews\; (ii) the co-imbrication of one’s subjectivity in cross-cultural encounters. We encourage risk-taking\, for example\, by resisting the kind of knowledge specializations that may prevent genuine engagement between differences and that work through two or more traditions of thought to create an ‘in-between’ idiom that is at home in its homelessness.\n \nPursued in collaboration with the Uberoi Foundation\, an organization that is dedicated to cross-cultural exchange and expanding awareness of diverse traditions\, this conference promises to break new ground in the development of ways of thinking that simultaneously draw upon ancient human wisdoms while also being informed by the urgency of the present global moment\, bringing a diasporic consciousness to a world seduced by the alluring false comfort of restrictive nationalisms.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Complexity in the Social World: The Challenging Case of ‘Place’
DESCRIPTION:October 8-9\, 2026 | Institute for Social Research\n\nThe challenge: New data and approaches to study complexity in the social world has often been without a concurrent focus on the foundations of scientific inquiry\, including complex thinking\, broad causal thinking\, attention to epistemic lens\, and integrating multiple disciplinary approaches. Further\, the academic research model\, with its resource-segregated networks\, discipline-specific training\, and short-term productivity metrics\, contributes to a fragmented and potentially misleading understanding of the social world. In the second annual ISR Symposium on Complexity in the Social World\, we will use ‘place’ as the case study to facilitate discussions on rigorous social science in the public interest. \n\nUsing research on place as the case study\, discussion topics will include:\n- Complex thinking about the social world\n- The contribution of the humanities the study of the social world\n- Epistemic lens and research transparency\n- Theories\, frameworks\, and the limits of traditional causal inference\n- The draw and danger of cool new data \n- Addressing the challenges of the academic model of science\n\nPresentations on the science of place will include:\n- The relational nature of place in population social inequalities\n- The role of history in shaping place\n- The racialization of place\; the spatialization of race\n- Place as a neutral and rational driver of social inequalities\n- Approaches to testing (causal) ideas around place\n\nTravel awards are available for early career scholars. Registration will be available on this site soon.
