WHEN 16-17 November 2023
WHERE Ibrahim Ahmed Room, Reed Hall, the University of Exeter
What happens to the notion of internationalism when we rethink it through the prism of architecture and experience? The workshop brings together a group of outstanding researchers and intellectuals at the cross-disciplinary encounter of environmental and architectural humanities and social sciences, to extend the existing boundaries in debates and thinking about the multi-faceted history of internationalism and architecture.
By thinking about the relationship between architecture and internationalisms as a dynamic process, the workshop invites new thinking about the place of architecture in the history of internationalism. The workshop is part of the Healthscapes Lab event series and is organised by Dr Sara Honarmand Ebrahimi at the University of Frankfurt um Maine and Dr Maziyar Ghiabi at the University of Exeter. It is supported by Johanna Quandt Young Academy at Goethe and Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
