Current Theme 2022-23

Breathe

Through an interdisciplinary programme running over the course of the year, the IAS will welcome international experts to explore the scientific, historical, cultural, sociological and ethical implications of what it means to 'Breathe' and what this tells us about the world we live in today.

Theme for 2023-24

Gestation: Bodies, Technologies, Ecologies, Justice

Gestation is a complex negotiation of culture, biology and politics constituted through entanglements of human and non-human agents and practices that extend beyond the flesh.
