3 meetings and a research workshop presentation

Today I have attended three meetings - of which one physical. One of the meetings were in relation to an audiovisual production to mark the completion of bachelor studies for bachelor in social work and bachelor in child protection.

I also presented my paper "Umwelt temporalities: Individuality and subjectivity in animals in light of Umwelt temporality" at the online international interdisciplinary research workshop "Animal (Pre)History, Agency & Legacy", held by Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) at Bielefeld University, Germany via ZOOM. Some 14 people were present. A multi-authored opinion piece is to follow.

Brief report from the workshop "Agency in health care: Phenomenology and experience"

The scientific workshop "Agency in health care: Phenomenology and experience" was arranged at University of Stavanger's Department of Health Studies on Monday April 15th, with myself in a coordinating role. Besides functioning as the chair of a discussion session, I briefly opened the workshop (in the absence of Head of Department Kari Vevatne). I had also been taking care of several practicalities, and served as Stephen and Paul's host during their 2-day visit. The workshop featured lectures by Paul Thibault, Stephen Cowley, Febe Friberg and Sissel Eikeland Husebø - see program booklet. Some 12-15 people were present at one point or another, and discussions were fruitful, with practically all participants taking part.

An open lecture by Stephen Cowley, "Interactivity - implications for language and cognition", given Tuesday April 16th, was attended by some 10 people.
