This workshop is particularly relevant for mid-career professionals, educators, postgraduate students, and academics who are keen on integrating sustainable and resonant practices into their future careers. The workshop is ideal for those who are looking to reflect critically and innovate within their professional practices considering global challenges.
In an era of environmental crises and social inequalities, 'Resonant Practices: Beyond Control to Fluidity' offers a transformative workshop for professionals across disciplines. Grounded in the philosophies of Albert Camus, Hartmut Rosa, and Rosi Braidotti, this workshop transcends ecological boundaries, advocating for resonance, fluidity, and inclusivity in professional practices.
Central to the workshop is the integration of social practice theory, an essential framework for reconfiguring materials, meanings, and competencies in professional settings. This approach is vital for universities preparing future professionals, emphasising their role in facilitating transformative change. Participants will engage in an interactive session, confronting professional absurdities and utilising liminality and uncertainty for personal growth.
The workshop challenges anthropocentric and control-dominated paradigms, promoting inclusive, diverse, and adaptive practices. Our concept of ‘Resonant Practices' aims to equip participants to navigate professional unpredictability and complexity, culminating in action plans aligned with perspectives such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It underscores the critical role universities can play and should have in preparing professionals for an evolving world, highlighting their responsibility to foster sustainable, equitable, and resonant practices for future development
