Stockholm Explorative Talks 2023
On 9 November, Stockholm Explorative Talks will take place for the fifth time at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, KMH. This year’s theme is: Polarization vs. Pluralism. Academia’s Crucial Role in Bridging Perspectives. All 18 universities will be represented on stage. New this year is the inclusion of business representatives in the interdisciplinary conversations. Also new is the collaboration with Openlab. On 10 November, participants are invited to a crash course in interdisciplinarity in practice.
On this year’s theme: ”In a world where increasing polarization poses complex challenges to many layers of society, academia plays a more important role now than ever. When one-sided, powerful stories describe the world from opposite extremes, inviting opposing perspectives to the table (the very essence of academia) for thoughtful exploration and discussion, is an essential ingredient in the antidote. This takes curiosity and courage (and what are academics if not curious and courageous?) and a good arena for dialogue. That’s why we would like to invite you to explore academia’s crucial role in bridging perspectives at this year’s Stockholm Explorative Talks – alongside academics and artists from all 18 universities and higher education institutions in Stockholm.”
-We are delighted to once again invite you to Stockholm Explorative Talks and to showcase the breadth of Stockholm’s academic community. We believe that creative, playful and interdisciplinary dialogues can address contemporary problems in new ways. At the meeting, new thoughts emerge, what we thought we were looking for turns out to be something else, and new sparks are ignited,” says Maria Fogelström Kylberg, CEO of Stockholms Akademiska Forum.
