The purpose of this workshop (24.-25. October 2024 in Hamburg) is to reflect, together with Christian Bessy (Head of IDHES, ENS Paris-Saclay), on the role of perception in organized valuation. Drawing on ongoing research projects, we aim to jointly examine the ways in which the interpretation of sensory information shapes and impacts organized valuation. To this end, the working group invites interested researchers to participate in our exploration of this topic. Please find the detailed programme here (PDF).

Unlike traditional workshops, and given the highly focused nature of the workshop theme, it is not necessary to submit an abstract in advance to participate. Instead, registering by emailing us at zukuenfte.der.nachhaltigkeit"AT"uni-hamburg.de is sufficient. We truly appreciate your interest. The Call for Participation can be found here.

The workshop will be organized by the working group “Organization and Valuation” of the DGS (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Soziologie) and takes place at the DFG Humanities Centre "Futures of Sustainability".
