Centre for Invention and Social Process

Description

Based in the Department of Sociology, the Centre for Invention and Social Process is an interdisciplinary research centre that hosts conferences, reading groups, research projects, salons, seminars, workshops; as well as supporting doctoral research amongst other activities. Common to all is the exploration and examination of the role of ‘invention’ — and related terms such as ‘creativity’, ‘innovation’, ‘technology’, ‘discovery’, ‘change’ and ‘novelty’ in social and public life. The centre facilitates collaboration and intervention across disciplines and practices that touch upon and create the ‘social’, including, but not limited to: design and social science, computation and sociology, issue advocacy and inventive social methods, markets and economics, biomedicine and innovation in social research, the arts and environmental science.
