Research

What is relevant as academic and pedagogic? Is it a question of investment or a state of mind? Or is it a relation of sustenance and consoling company? Why do we feel lonely and exiled in the very study and research projects that were meant to be projects of collective struggle and comradery? And how is it that the most intense experiences and feelings, that are definitive of the scholar's selfhood and relations, become the unspoken, the behind scene to academic performance of mastery and composure?
 
Dr. Ali Ali will speak about how scholarship/knowledge/learning figures and transfigures in the lives of two academic exiles and in their relation and communication. The first is an asylum-seeking student who did not make it to the course. The second is a teacher and a researcher on asylum and exile, himself.

Speaker: Dr. Ali Ali, University of Helsinki
