Located at Justus-Leibig University of Gießen, the Panel on Planetary Thinking conducts transdisciplinary scientific research on planetary thinking, a novel approach that moves away from anthropocentrism and conceptions around the ‘globe’. Planetary thinking means to acknowledge that human societies are deeply entangled with the life of an ever-changing planet—a planet that expands spatially from the Earth’s core to interplanetary space, temporally from nanoseconds to geologic time scales, and materially from elementary particles to the dark matter of the universe.
For the Panel’s fourth and final round of visiting scholar fellowships, the Panel offered the fellowships to Ingvild Syntropia, Danilo Oliveira Vaz, Sophie von Redecker, angela Snæfellsjökuls rawlings, Erle Ellis, Eva Meijer, and Milja Kurki. rawlings will be in residence at the University of Gießen this autumn, exploring Planetary Agency & Politics while developing their practice-research project Glacier Vocabulary.
