Our 'Irrational' Past - Interdisciplinary Seminar Series

About

Welcome to the webpage for the Our ‘Irrational’ Past: Theological, Religious, and Superseded Heritage of Academic Disciplines. The series brings together a number of interdisciplinary scholars in order to reflect on the history, misconceptions, and presuppositions that underlie the state of academic disciplines as they exist today. The aim of the series is to challenge the commonly accepted narratives regarding how our disciplines developed into their present shape. We will also investigate how theories and worldviews of the past which we would not longer accept still play a role of unquestioned presuppositions within contemporary science and academia.

The talks will take place in hybrid or online only format (via Microsoft Teams), and are opened to all regardless of academic level or disciplinary background. They will consist out of a 45 minutes presentation, followed by a 45 minutes Q&A.

The series is organised by Dr Dino Jakusic (University of Warwick - Institute of Advanced Studies) as a part of his Pathways to Knowledge Fellowship project entitled Investigating Theological Bias and Theological Heritage in the Academic Disciplines (more details here).
