GradCAM researcher Sinead McDonald at IMPACT20 – Planetary Alliances
Time
12 (Thursday) 9:00 am - 15 (Sunday) 11:00 pm
Event Information
GradCAM researcher Sinead McDonald has been invited to present her research at the annual IMPACT Transdisciplinary Symposium at PACT Zollverein in Germany.
IMPACT20 – Planetary Alliances
For years, experts from all fields of knowledge have been occupied with the complex interconnections and vital dependencies between the human and the non-human. Under the title ›Planetary Alliances‹, IMPACT20 invites you to a polylogue on relationship net- works in which humans are just one actor among many.
As a scientific and artistic think-tank, IMPACT20 criss-crosses perspectives from biotechnology, natural science, philosophy and contemporary art: Lars Blank, Rosi Braidotti and Johannes Paul Raether reflect on the relativities, metabolisms and relationships between the elements and protagonists of our world and how these impact on ecological, social, economic and technological developments in a community. How can new alliances that no longer place humankind at the centre of perception, shape and define new models of societies?

Ultimology is the study of that which is dead or dying in a series or process. When applied to academic disciplines, it becomes the study of extinct or endangered subjects, theories, and tools of learning. The first Department of Ultimology was establishedby Fiona Hallinan and Kate Strain in January 2016, at Trinity College Dublin. Through embedded qualitative research, and by proposing Ultimology as a service (UaaS) – the department identifies and explores cycles of knowledge formation across the university.
This inaugural conference performs the findings of the Department of Ultimology’s first Hilary term of existence. Throughscreenings, talks, tests and exploratory research, this conference brings together researchers and practitioners from inside and outside Trinity to explore the concept of Ultimology and how it relates to different fields of knowledge.
The conference will take place in Trinity Long Room Hub, on Thursday 14th April, 10am – 3pm. Ultimological refreshments will be served as part of the proceedings. The event itself is free but ticketed due to limited capacity. You can book your place through our Eventbrite page, here.
The Department of Ultimology was established with the support of seed funding from Trinity Creative Challenge 2015. The department office is hosted by CONNECT (formerly CTVR), Dunlop Oriel House, Trinity College Dublin. The conference is funded by a Dublin City Council Project award. Ongoing research is made possible through support from Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.
