The Economy and Society Summer School has long since been an important part of many of the HECAT team’s calendars. The school brings together an array of post-graduate students and academics from across the humanities and social sciences and is usually held in Co. Cork, Ireland. This year, the school is delighted to announce we will come together in An Díseart, Dingle/An Daingean, County Kerry from April 11-14th 2023.
Overview
E+S 2023 | Theorising at the Edges of the World.
This year’s theme reflects many’s desire to retreat from the confines of conventional academic thought. While hectic lifestyles and increased stresses to measure academic activities through metrics is on the rise, we aspire to take a step back. Over previous years, E&S has aspired to create an open space for discussion that is disciplined and interest indifferent. Here, theory and thought can flourish against the backdrop of open discussion and togetherness. Our ambition is to consider the foundations of Economy & Society, things that bring us together and provide the basis for rethinking our shared worlds, from the edges. Just for a moment, we hope to re-think and re-conceptualise our shared predicaments.
Location
Located in the most Westerly point of Europe, Dingle is an apt setting for open thought and knowledge sharing. Over a few days in April, we will take the time to ruminate and consider, and try to recapture that spirit of curiosity and generosity of the ideal academy. Our setting An Díseart Visitor Center was founded in 1996 and strives to promote research and cultural activities in this beautiful settling.
