The Posthumanities Hub is always exploring new shapes and colours. Academic work can be lonesome, individualistic and competitive. We want to change that. In this incubator for more humane and more-than human humanities, we build capacity for futures in a world of many nested challenges with PhD-students, postdocs, interdisciplinarians, creators and extra-academic knowers.
Community-oriented, the members of the Posthumanities Hub are capacity-building early career scholars, established scholars/artists and co-creators of the Hub, and connectors (alumni, networks, advisory board members, previous guest researchers, and societal agencies, museums and organisations with which we co-operate). As best we can, we try to work joyfully together across distances of disciplines, universities and societies. United by integrative approaches, pluripotent critiques and more-than-human curiosities, cartographies and collaborations, we make the Posthumanities Hub, together.

Connecting people across disciplines, arts, sciences and universities
The Posthumanities Hub is also a platform for networks, alumni and previous guest researchers, societal co-operations with a diverse range of art institutions, museums, schools and organisations for sustainable and fair changes in society.
- Acting as ambassadors for our community, we sport for instance an extra-ordinary International Scientific Advisory Board.
- Environmental Justice Network, Posthumanities International Network (PIN), and Gender & Sustainability – alumni networks connects us across all corners of the world.
- About 15 previous PhD-graduates, 17 postdocs, 170 guest researchers have passed academic muster through the Hub under Prof Åsberg’s supervision since 2008/2009.
- Collaborating societal partners include Statens Konstråd, Akademiska Hus, Färgfabriken, Östergötlands Museum, Sveriges Historiska Muséer, Bromma Gymnasium, and some…
- Constantly re-inventing itself for societal relevance, the Hub is presently directed and coordinated by this dream team (at Linköping University, Department of Thematic Studies and Tema Genus, and Université Paris 8 Vincennes, Laboratoire d’Études de Genre et de Sexualité (LEGS)
