Title: Description as a Way of Knowing: An Interdisciplinary Exploration (International Workshop)
Description:

The Workshop aims to explore description as a way of knowing by bringing together historical, philosophical, cultural, and sociological perspectives. It will analyze its epistemic potential and associated modes of valuing in various historical and contemporary scientific cultures, viewing description in its relation with (seemingly) opposing or contrasting epistemic practices, aims, and ideals. The Workshop will foster a comparative approach with scholars investigating distinct research fields, historic periods, and modes of scientific practice.
