Dis­abil­i­ty & Cli­mate: In Con­ver­sa­tion with Angela Frederick
20th May 2025

In Sep­tem­ber 2023, we launched an online ‘Dis­abil­i­ty & Cli­mate: In con­ver­sa­tion with…’ series for peo­ple that are inter­est­ed in reflect­ing on and/or shar­ing expe­ri­ences around dis­abil­i­ty and the cli­mate cri­sis. This is part of the Sens­ing Cli­mate project, led by the Uni­ver­si­ty of Exeter. You can read more about the project and tune into past events online: https://sensing-climate.com/events

Join us on Tues­day 20th May 2025, 7–8.30pm BST (12–1.30pm Cen­tral Time) for a con­ver­sa­tion with Angela Fred­er­ick, Asso­ciate Pro­fes­sor of Soci­ol­o­gy at The Uni­ver­si­ty of Texas at El Paso. Angela is author of the forth­com­ing book, ‘Dis­abled Pow­er: A Storm, A Grid, and Embod­ied Harm in the Age of Dis­as­ter’. Dur­ing our ses­sion, Angela will dis­cuss and share find­ings from the book, draw­ing on inter­views she con­duct­ed with 57 Texas res­i­dents with dis­abil­i­ties and parental care­givers who endured the 2021 Texas pow­er cri­sis. She will reflect on how dis­abil­i­ty vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty was pro­duced in the storm through a pol­i­cy process that ‘dis­abled’ vital infra­struc­ture, includ­ing pow­er, water, and emer­gency ser­vices, while also dis­cussing the impor­tance of „dis­abled pow­er”; the indi­vid­ual and col­lec­tive resilience that dis­abled Tex­ans exer­cised to sur­vive the dis­as­ter.

Andreas Heinz: Das kolonialisierte Gehirn – Zum Verständnis psychischer Krankheit im historischen Wandel

Vor­trag

Vor­trag in Wien, Österreich

Andreas Heinz (Char­ité Berlin): Das kolo­nial­isierte Gehirn – Zum Ver­ständ­nis psy­chis­ch­er Krankheit im his­torischen Wandel
Mon­tag 2. Juni 2025, 18:00 Uhr
Josephinum – His­torisch­er Hör­saal, Währinger Straße 25, 1090 Wien

Gibt es Zusam­men­hänge zwis­chen Vorstel­lun­gen über das Gehirn und den Kolo­nial­is­mus? Konzepte psy­chis­ch­er Krankheit und Gesund­heit ste­hen immer im jew­eili­gen his­torischen Kon­text. Für das Ver­ständ­nis psy­chis­ch­er Erkrankun­gen bedeutet dies, dass die um 1900 entwick­el­ten The­o­rien auch kolo­niale, geschlechts- und alters­be­zo­gene Hier­ar­chien auf das Gehirn und seine Funk­tio­nen pro­jizierten. Psy­chis­che Erkrankun­gen wur­den dementsprechend als evo­lu­tionär­er Abbau, Degen­er­a­tion oder Regres­sion auf eine ver­meintlich prim­i­tive Stufe ver­standen, die ange­blich bei den Bewohn­ern der Kolonien, aber auch bei Kindern und in manchen The­o­rien auch bei Frauen beobacht­bar seien. Gegen diese Abw­er­tung ver­meintlich prim­i­tiv­er Ver­hal­tensweisen erhebt sich eine Rei­he kri­tis­ch­er Ein­wände, die von der Roman­tisierung bis zum struk­turellen Ver­gle­ich unter­schiedlich­er Lebensweisen reichen, und die selb­st wieder von den sozialen Bewe­gun­gen ihrer Zeit bee­in­flusst sind. Auseinan­der­set­zun­gen um hier­ar­chis­che Mod­elle psy­chis­ch­er Funk­tions­fähigkeit­en und ihrer Veror­tung im Gehirn prä­gen bis heute das Ver­ständ­nis psy­chis­ch­er Erkrankungen.

Andreas Heinz ist Senior Pro­fes­sor an der Uni­ver­sität Tübin­gen. Er studierte Medi­zin, Anthro­polo­gie und Philoso­phie an der Ruhr-Uni­ver­sität Bochum, Freien Uni­ver­sität Berlin und der Howard Uni­ver­si­ty, Wash­ing­ton, D.C. 2002 bis 2025 war er Direk­tor der Klinik für Psy­chi­a­trie und Psy­chother­a­pie der Char­ité Cam­pus Mitte. 2018 bis 2022 war er Sprech­er des Son­der­forschungs­bere­ich­es TR 265 sowie 2023 bis 2025 des Deutschen Zen­trums für psy­chis­che Gesund­heit. Seine Forschungss­chw­er­punk­te sind Lern­mech­a­nis­men bei Psy­cho­sen und Suchterkrankun­gen sowie Fra­gen der interkul­turellen Psy­chi­a­trie und Psychotherapie.

Dis­abil­i­ty & Cli­mate: In Con­ver­sa­tion with Raven Cretney
10th July 2025

This is part of the Sens­ing Cli­mate project, led by the Uni­ver­si­ty of Exeter. You can read more about the project and tune into past events online: https://sensing-climate.com/events

We’re delight­ed to be joined on Thurs­day 10th July, 8.30–10am BST (7.30–9pm in New Zealand) by Raven Cret­ney, Senior Lec­tur­er at Lin­coln Uni­ver­si­ty, Aotearoa New Zealand. Raven’s research focus­es on col­lec­tive action and pol­i­cy change relat­ing to post-dis­as­ter and envi­ron­men­tal issues. Her work spans sev­er­al top­ics, includ­ing man­aged retreat and cli­mate adap­ta­tion, the role of com­mu­ni­ty scale action and lead­er­ship in catalysing envi­ron­men­tal change, and the evo­lu­tion of activism and social move­ments. In our ses­sion, Raven will dis­cuss oppor­tu­ni­ties for dis­abil­i­ty-led cli­mate adap­ta­tion, the pos­si­bil­i­ties for learn­ing from past events and the need for care­ful nav­i­ga­tion of cri­sis pol­i­tics in build­ing sol­i­dar­i­ty across and with­in com­mu­ni­ties.

Shift­ing states and their his­to­ries in insti­tu­tion­al care

The anthro­pol­o­gy of the state has long argued that states do not exist as coher­ent units out there but are artic­u­lat­ed in prac­tices, spaces and effects. One of the key spaces in which states have effects on their cit­i­zens are care insti­tu­tions. They respond to cru­cial needs of humans; for instance as places where sick­ness­es are treat­ed and frail bod­ies are tak­en care of. They can also curate major tran­si­tions such as birth and death. Care insti­tu­tions such as hos­pi­tals or nurs­ing homes are places defined by par­tic­u­lar and per­sis­tent forms of inter­ac­tion. These forms – where and how things are done, when and by whom – have often coag­u­lat­ed over time. They are backed up by legit­i­ma­tions which are not easy to ques­tion, because they are part of oth­er non-tan­gi­ble soci­etal insti­tu­tions, such as gen­dered divi­sion of labour, kin­ship and fam­i­ly ide­olo­gies which are spe­cif­ic to his­tor­i­cal­ly grown care and health regimes. These regimes as part of state gov­er­nance can bear traces of pasts such as colo­nial rule, polit­i­cal regimes shifts or spe­cif­ic biopo­lit­i­cal projects of care and con­trol. Insti­tu­tion­al care can also be pro­vid­ed by non-state actors on behalf of the state includ­ing non-prof­it, reli­gious or char­i­ty organ­i­sa­tions but also com­mer­cial or even cor­po­ra­tized actors. The rea­sons why these actors per­form or have tak­en over these tasks, have again their own his­to­ries often relat­ed to shifts in ways of gov­er­nance of wel­fare state regimes.

This pan­el brings togeth­er papers that explore how shift­ing states and their his­to­ries come back resur­face, or take unex­pect­ed forms with­in the spaces and prac­tices of insti­tu­tion­al care. The papers exam­ine how his­tor­i­cal lega­cies shape and haunt care­giv­ing inter­ac­tions, insti­tu­tion­al rou­tines, and the nar­ra­tives and posi­tion­al­i­ties of those involved in these care set­tings. In ask­ing how these pasts are artic­u­lat­ed, linger on or are rep­re­sent­ed in care insti­tu­tions this pan­el under­stands his­to­ry not as some­thing wait­ing to be dis­cov­ered in the back­ground, but as active­ly brought up, mobi­lized and pre­sent­ed in the field or artic­u­lat­ed by the ethno­g­ra­ph­er. The past then becomes “his­to­ry” through prac­tices of actors in the field or through the ana­lyt­i­cal work of the ethno­g­ra­ph­er who iden­ti­fies his­to­ry as an absent pres­ence in the stud­ied sit­u­a­tion or prac­tice. The paper in this pan­el inter­ro­gate the con­sti­tu­tive moments where his­to­ry appears, or is brought up in insti­tu­tion­al care set­tings, ask­ing, which posi­tion­ings, gen­er­a­tional mem­o­ries and nar­ra­tives become artic­u­lat­ed therein.
