About the group

The Materialisms Reading Group organises regular meetings to discuss a range of posthuman, new materialist, speculative realist, actor-network and object-oriented understandings that foreground the materiality of life and its governance. This is not a lecture course so we will be mixing up the texts and approaching key or interesting readings in an informal and flexible way, with a brief introduction by one of the group. Reading group meetings have been running since May 2013, they are open to all and take place Thursdays 6.30–8pm. Please see Professor David Chandler's website for further information.
