PODCAST SEASON 2

The Minor Constellations Podcast is the podcast of the Research Training Group Minor Cosmopolitanisms. We feature the work of thinkers and cultural practitioners – people whose work touches on the current moment and who are interested in the ways in which our theories and practices shed light on the relations between knowledge, politics and power. 

The RTG is based at the University of Potsdam and in partnership with Humboldt University, the Free University Berlin and University of Koblenz and Landau. It also has 8 international partner universities, located in Australia, South Africa, India and North America.

We are a multidisciplinary group that seeks to reinvigorate the question of how to “think and feel beyond the nation” in the wake of the unravelling of the cosmopolitan promise. We aim to do this by focusing on that which may be situated within specific local, historical and political situations but makes worlds, throws unexpected connections into relief, or builds forms of cooperation across difference. 

In this second season of the podcast, we release an episode every month: conversations with exciting guests, among them David Scott, Ira Raja, Jasmine Cobb, Elad Lapidot, Khwezi Mkhize, Judith Coffey and many more.
