Join us for an exciting week exploring sociomaterial transformations in beautiful Trondheim, Norway, for the week of 16.-20. June 2025. 

We will have a particular focus on theoretical understandings of sociomateriality seen in the context of societal transformation powered by our departments interdisciplinary focus from three research areas: environmental studies, digitalization, and diversity. 

The school will contain exciting methods of using generative AI to reimagine communities, feminist materiality concepts to question power-imbalances, and sufficiency to gain better understandings of contemporary sustainability challenges of material overuse. 

We question transition for transitions sake by asking “when do we have enough”? Furthermore, we see what this implies for different stakeholders in academia and society. During the course you will have the opportunity to consider these questions from your own PhD projects against the theoretical backdrop of the PhD school. This PhD school's main target is PhD students in Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), including Science and Technology Studies (STS), gender and diversity studies, sociology, anthropology and related disciplines.  

Eligibility:

• PhD students from partner universities can apply 

• PhD students affiliated with the Norwegian DIGIT school can apply.

• We also offer a few open slots for applicants from other European universities.

The submission deadline has passed.
