IAS WORKSHOP - Moving the modes of encounter: Embodying (in)equalities in the university

Facilitated by Alexandra Baybutt, artist, movement educator and postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies, these workshops are a part of her research that aims to inform EDI policy-making by drawing attention to the effects of embodiment in teaching and learning contexts.

These practical workshops emphasise the importance of movement for the possibility of knowledge itself. They present knowledge practices from choreography and somatic studies to shape a space for creative exploration and play. Embodied practices provoke remembering – that members of the individual and social body practice questions of equity, diversity and inclusion in the everyday encounters that shape what the university is and might be. For students and faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, no experience required. Held in-person at the IAS. You are welcome to attend 1 or more of these workshops. They will be similar but not identical.
