🗓️ Next month at ZiF The start of the upcoming winter term at Bielefeld University in October also marks the beginning of the joint lecture series by ISoS and ZiF: "Interdisciplinary in Scientific Research – Perspectives from Practice and Science Studies". www.uni-bielefeld.de/zwe/isos/eve...

Text graphic: EVENTS 10 / 2026 | 12.-13.10. | WORKSHOP: The Roles of Organismal Agency in Biological Practice | Marie I. Kaiser (Bielefeld), Guido I. Prieto (Bielefeld), Henrik Hörmann (Bielefeld) | The concept of organismal agency challenges the traditional view that only cognitively complex beings, such as humans, exhibit agency, proposing instead that all living systems - from cells to colonies - actively participate in their own development, maintenance, and evolution. The workshop brings together biologists and philosophers to ex-plore how the concept of organismal agency is and could be used in biological research.

💡Lecture Series: Interdisciplinarity in Scientific Research - Perspectives from Practice and Science Studies www.uni-bielefeld.de/zwe/isos/eve... More information in the thread below ⬇️

Text graphic: Interdisciplinarity in Scientific Research - Perspectives from Practice and Science Studies | LECTURE SERIES | WINTER TERM 26/27

Text graphic: Tuesdays, 16.15-17.45 | 20.10.2026-02.02.2027 | ZiF | UNIVERSITÄT BIELEFELD | ISoS Institute for Studies of Science | Since its founding at the end of the 1960s, Bielefeld University has embraced interdisciplinarity as a defining institutional principle. The Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) and the Institute for Studies of Science (ISOS) have jointly organized this lecture series to explore interdisciplinarity in both theory and practice.

Text graphic: Interdisciplinarity in Scientific Research - Perspectives from Practice and Science Studies | This lecture series brings together theoretical reflections and practical experiences on interdisciplinarity in scientific research. The field of Science Studies has long examined the conditions, forms, and implications of interdisciplinary work. Historians, sociologists, and philosophers of science address questions such as: What distinguishes interdisciplinary from multidisciplinary research? How is knowledge integrated across disciplinary boundaries? How do interdisciplinary fields emerge and stabilize? How do researchers navigate conflicting methods, standards, and epistemic cultures in collaborative settings? The series connects these theoretical debates with insights from research, funding, and institutional practice. It highlights interdisciplinary projects in which scholars develop innovative approaches to collaboration and design measures to foster interdisciplinary competencies. The lecture series also offers perspectives on how funding organizations design and implement formats that promote and sustain interdisciplinary research, as well as on how research institutes host, structure, and actively support such collaboration.

Moving beyond the conventional framing of the 'war on drugs', the workshop looks at how state-driven narratives and surveillance practices reinforce stigmas around class, gender, and race, while often overlooking the everyday realities of people involved in these economies.

Text graphic: EVENTS 06/2026 | 25.-26.06. | WORKSHOP | Navigating Research Challenges in Post-Socialist Contexts – Rethinking Knowledge Production and Methodologies | Anna Amelina (Chemnitz), Karolina Barglowski (Luxembourg), Irina Kuznetsova (Birmingham), Encarnación Gutiérrez Rodríguez (Frankfurt a.M.) | in context of the Resident Group "Postcolonial and Postsocialist Interdependencies Across Borders" | What does it mean to produce knowledge from the margins: in post-socialist, postcolonial, or "Global East" contexts where entire epistemologies remain systematically undervalued? This international and interdisciplinary workshop brings together scholars from sociology, anthropology, history, political science, geography, and gender studies to confront some of the most urgent methodological challenges of social sciences and humanities.
