Contribution long abstract:

I am a cultural anthropologist with a strong interest in STS working at a department for media studies. For my Ph.D. I did fieldwork about sustainability transformations in and of three post-industrial cities. My focus lay on so-called soft policy instruments which I followed across city borders. Cable clutters on house walls, eating insects, polluted rivers, listed buildings, colorful cardboard cubes representing the SDG and many other ‘things’ played an essential role in my research. I would like to share my experiences of how climate governance in and of cities is un/done by various materialities and what role senses play in the process (or not). I would love to expand my methodological toolkit with new sensory and material approaches and am highly interested to explore how these may be applied in inter- and transdisciplinary transformative research.
