CRASSH is delighted to present 2019-20's research networks – of which many are new – as well as 16 interdisciplinary conferences on a range of topics that include climate fictions, health inequality, queer migrations and the power of the pineapple.

A concept that has been at the fore of discussions around the sociology of scientific knowledge, the limits of AI, and most recently the design of ‘collective intelligence’, is ‘tacit knowledge’.
First coming to prominence in the 1960’s, with Polanyi’s The Tacit Dimension (1966), it is a concept that continues to be addressed by scholars and practitioners from a wide range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, and applied fields of practice. This conference explores the place of the tacit in the 21st century, where our lives are increasingly augmented by AI algorithms.
Conference registration closes on Sunday: www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/28385

Due to popular demand, this event has been moved to a larger venue, and new tickets have been released.
