The research group Space and Time in Education invites Nicholas Hardy, Ph.D., Associate professor in Sociology at the University of New Brunswick (Canada), to Tromsø to give a guest lecture on identifying ‘logics’ and discourses in culture seen as a semi-autonomous entity.
The title of the lecture is Identifying ‘logics’ and ‘discourses’ within semi-autonomous culture: an engagement between Archer and Foucault.
Nicholas Hardy works with different topics within social theory, among others Marxist and post-Marxist theories, Critical Realism, as well as some of Michel Foucaults central concepts.
Furthermore, Hardy has worked on materiality as an aspect of social relations, based on a Critical Realist metatheoretical framework.
After the lecture, there will be time for questions/comments. The lecture will be streamed, and the recording will be available online until the end of the semester.
