How do we rethink 'catastrophe' so as to find new ways of being and acting in the world(s) we inhabit? How can 'catastrophe' be untied from notions of calculability, prediction, and control that organize 'modern' institutions? How have communities, individuals, social movements, histories, and places remade life after catastrophe?

This year, we have exciting panels and activities, all of which will be open to the public. Please see below for information on each conference agenda and details on how to RSVP.
