Fragility and the Aesthetics of Sensitivity
Date: 12 June, 2026
Location: Kingston University London, Penrhyn Road Campus, KT1 2EE (hybrid)

Under the dual themes of fragility and sensitivity, and in light of contemporary systemic crises, the symposium aims to examine changing disciplinary conditions in the production of knowledge and the practice of research at the intersection of science, politics, and aesthetics

The symposium will feature keynote presentations by Brigitte Hart and Andrew Goffey. Brigitte Hart is a sound artist whose recent work explores the sonic textures of found objects along the Thames, examining the relationships between ecosystems, soundscape, and society. Andrew Goffey is Associate Professor of Critical Theory and Cultural Studies at the University of Nottingham. His work has extensively engaged with questions of transdisciplinarity and the thought of Félix Guattari.

The programme also includes four research papers and an open discussion between Anca-Maria Pop, a PhD student in Philosophy, and Julia Schauerman, an electroacoustic composer, improviser, and community artist whose current research explores acousmatic storytelling as a collaborative creative practice for engaging complex contemporary issues.

This is a hybrid event. Full programme details and registration information are available below with a link for online participation.
