Organized by Lara Keuck and Lisa Regazzoni (Focus area: Materiality Between Past and Future)
What can we learn about theories, in particular theories of history and theories of medical knowledge, when studying objects? TOOL, the Theory Oriented Object Laboratory is a new venue and collaborative project to address this question from various historiographical and theoretical perspectives and through a diversity of material objects and collections. We cordially invite all interested to join our opening workshop and learn more about TOOL and possibilities to participate in the project and engage with theories through objects.
