Breathe - Provocations and Panel Discussion

Join us for a lively series of provocations, followed by a panel discussion continuing the exciting interdisciplinary interventions made by the IAS Annual Theme Breathe.

Exploring the scientific, historical, cultural, sociological and ethical dimensions of what it means to breathe, and what this tells us about the world in which we live, the Theme brings international researchers from many fields and disciplines together around issues ranging from the impact of the Covid pandemic, climate change and poor air quality on health, social justice and equity, to the significance of breath to speech, song, communication, design, creativity and life itself.

• Dr Hannah Holscher, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
