Post-event summary and key themes:


  • The systemic and everyday production, formation and solidifying of governance phenomena (i.e., institutional space, policy and the state). 
  • Relational, situated, multiple and cooperative social practices that constitute ‘the new’ in institutional and governing contexts.
  • What counts as evidence and valued knowledge, and the experiences, relations and imaginaries that animate action in policy and practice sites. 
  • The politics of location, bodily experience, identification, subjectification, positioning, whiteness, hauntings, and the role of fantasy and projection, the movement between the subjective, local, national, global.
