Dear Colleagues,
If you are planning to attend AoM in person in Seattle, we invite you to join us in a face-to-
face format PDW. No preparation is required, and we welcome all Academy members who
would like to engage in an interactive workshop designed to interrogate the current global
environmental, economic and political crises. In particular, we seek to explore their
relationship through three related questions concerning (1) the prevailing neo-liberal or
Washington consensus, (2) the faith in humanism and (3) the failure of ethics.
Our objective in this PDW is to engage participants in considering how our (and others) lives
might be lived differently through posthuman subjectivities and an ethics of care. The
workshop will begin with each panel member making a brief presentation followed by Q&A
on the individualizing and reductive tendencies of neoliberalism, the collaborative and
productive dynamics of posthumanism, and the relational potential of an ethics of care.
Questions and suggestions generated in these discussions will then be used to guide
subsequent breakout group explorations of the three topics of our presentation: neo-
liberalism, posthumanism and an ethics of care. Finally, each breakout group will report key
ideas and insights from their conversations to a plenary session, and participants will be
invited to use a Padlet as an ongoing resource to support further conversations and future
research.
