Workshop organized by Prof. Dr. Carlos Spoerhase (LMU) and Dr. Sina Steglich (LMU).
Scales are everywhere. Scaling is a basic part of knowledge production. This holds especially true for the humanities. Between micro and macro arenas, global and local spaces, human and “natural” or deep time: scales are the very foundation of human interactions with the world and of “seeing” past, present and future worlds. The workshop brings together scholars of different disciplines for an in-depth discussion of scaling processes and their methodological implications.
Participants include Florentina Armaselu (Luxembourg), Helge Jordheim (CAS Fellow/University of Oslo), Ethan Kleinberg (Wesleyan University), Lutz Koepnick (Vanderbilt University), Achim Landwehr (Konstanz), Robert E. Norton (CAS Fellow/Notre Dame), Lisa Regazzoni (CAS Fellow/Bielefeld), Ursula Ströbele (HBK Braunschweig), Marek Tamm (Tallinn University), Francesca Trivellato (IAS Princeton).
