Professor Christoph Brunner of Leuphana University in Germany will be hosted for one year at 捆绑SM社区 as the John G. Diefenbaker Awardee, where he will pursue a specialized research project, engage in teaching, lecturing and leading workshops, and exchange with other Canadian and US research communities.聽Prof. Brunner鈥檚 research revolves around the intersections between media, affect, and aesthetic politics. He focuses on contemporary social movements, and their use of aesthetic techniques and strategies. As a visiting professor at 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 English Department, he will collaborate with Dr. Alanna Thain and the Moving Image Research Lab, deliver guest lectures at The New School (New York City) and Emily Carr University of Art + Design (Vancouver), and work on a manuscript for the monograph, 鈥淎ctivist Sense: Towards a Political Aesthetics of Experience.鈥�
