At the Hub on location at Linköping University, Sweden, we welcome applications from PhD-students and scholars from all over – to share in and contribute to our vibrant research environment. We offer our guests office space, a chance to present their work to an international community of very human and more-than-human humanities scholars (in a webinar), limited supervision, strange encounters, and a setting of intellectual generosity.
During the spring term of 2024 we have hosted for instance German scholar Hannah Link, working on social robots, Finnish postdoc Kaisa Kortekallio and her mutant narratives in speculative ecologies, and we welcomed artist-in-residence Amanda Selinder for her extended period of work on Campus Valla, Linköping University.
For the fall term of 2024, we are so happy to welcome:
Tamalone van den Eijnden
Tamalone is a PhD student in the Department of Science, Technology, and Policy Studies at the University of Twente. In her research she examines the practice, politics, and poetics of commoning in relation to Foodpark Amsterdam and aim to formulate a place- and practice-based theory of transformative change for biodiversity and justice. Her focus is on technology and biotraces, and she is particularly interested in soil and land ownership. Tamalone looks at social phenomena such as urban interventions and developments, robots, and science fiction from an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective. The common thread is a reflection on how we can imagine and work towards a future that is more just and sustainable.
Fatemeh Gholami
Fatemeh is a PhD student in the Department of History, Culture, and Literature of English-speaking Countries at the University of the National Education Commission in Krakow, Poland. Encompassing literary cartography, geo-criticism, and theories of spatiality, her research traces specific intersections between these fields. She applies these theoretical confluences, in turn, to eco-cinema, transnational cinema, and literature to raise awareness of how environments shape narrative practice as well as to reveal how film and literature impact our perception of space. She is currently exploring the complex realm of environmental storytelling and visual representation within the context of nature documentaries. Fatemeh’s research interests encompass Ecospatiality, Eco-Aesthetics, New Materialism, Eco-disaster, Ecophobia, and Solastalgia in Popular Culture, among others.
Camilla Bernava
Camilla is a PhD student in Philosophy at the University of Naples L’Orientale. Her doctoral research aims to explore, from a philosophical standpoint, the ecological perspectives in Donna Haraway’s thought with a passionate and critical approach. She has been reconstructing the author’s connections with the science of ecology, through a focus on the concept of ecosystem, working at the intersection of the history of ecological science and environmental philosophy. Camilla’s research interests include feminist philosophy of science, feminist epistemologies, and the intersection of these fields with environmental humanities.from University of Naples L’Orientale (IT).
