Last week, Assistant Professor Dr. Azucena Castro delivered the Plenary talk as the invited international scholar at the Higher Seminar titled “Postnatures and More-Than-Human Territories: Multispecies Narratives for Other Possible Futures from Latin America” at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, in Santiago de Chile.
Her keynote talk was titled: “Multispecies Resistance in Art, Theory, and Community Practices. Poetics and Political Ecology for the Liberation of Territories from South America” and was delivered at the Auditorium of the Faculty of History, Geography, and Political Science, Campus San Joaquín.
During her visit, Professor Castro also co-led a workshop for graduate students and faculty on posthuman and postqualitative methods for interdisciplinary research and participated in a round table conversation featuring her recent book Posnaturalezas poéticas (De Gruyter, 2025) with two Chilean scholars, Dr. Valeria de los Ríos and Dr. Andrea Casals Hill, at the iconic library Metales Pesados. The Seminar was organized by a team of interdisciplinary doctoral students within their Graduate Seminar framework.
Huge public at all activities! The organizing team had bags made for the Seminar, highlighting Dr. Castro’s books!
