This year, 10 postdoctoral fellows have made Milieux the home for their continued research and practice. Each fellow embodies a dedication to interdisciplinary thought and critical inquiry, pursued in ways that rethink the idea of clear boundary between theory and practice. Their presence is indicative of the active state of research at the institute this year, and we are very happy to welcome them to the Milieux community. To learn more about their individual projects and histories, check out their detailed bios here. We are also excited to share an interview with two of our 2021 fellows, Dr. Marcelina Piotrowski and Dr. Johannes Bruder. This conversation, conducted by Concordia Philosophy MA Candidate, Matthew Raymond, examines questions of contemporary pedagogy, the uncertain and necessary role of the “humanities”, and the infrastructural conditions of knowledge-production. This reflection on the place and possibility of research is a recurrent theme across the work of all our 2021 fellows and is demonstrative of the translation and experimentation, unfettered by thematic or methodological boundaries, that makes Milieux such an exciting space to think and work. Enjoy!
