ABOUT
The Posthuman Lab was founded by
Dr. Çağdaş Dedeoğlu in 2021.
The research in this lab focuses on posthumanist approaches to knowing and knowledge, embracing onto-epistemological plurality. We seek to understand the world and the worlds beyond humanist, anthropocentric assumptions, and techno-capitalist utilitarianism.
This aim is supported by three objectives:
1) undisciplined rationality,
2) creative criticism, and
3) justice for all.
We welcome researchers, artists, and philosophers to engage in posthumanist collaboration with us.
