Prof. Pramod K Nayar

Described as a ‘collaboratory’, the Hub, founded by Professor Cecilia Åsberg, a leading scholar in gender studies, cultural studies of science and technology, and environmental studies at Linköping, is a space for research in the new humanities and more-than-human humanities, and work in the symbiotic arts and sciences. Its aim is to forge new alliances among researchers and practitioners/practices of posthumanities enabling thinking on “how to co-exist, work and think better together in a troubled world”. It brings together philosophy, arts and sciences and academic activism, all informed by a “far-reaching societal commitment to democracy and co-existential ethics in multispecies practice”.

The Scientific Advisory Board (https://posthumanitieshub.net/scientific-advisory-board/) consists of pioneer researchers in posthumanist studies, from Donna Haraway, Karen Barad and Rosi Braidotti to Jackie Stacey, Matthew Fuller and Myra Hird. Pramod Nayar is the only Indian academic on the Board.
