DESCRIPTION:Anooradha Siddiqi\, Barnard College\nThe public lecture series
  Mud on the Floor looks at methods for studying construction sites. Alth
 ough construction is required for architecture and cities to be built\, it
  can be notably absent from scholarship. There are a few institutional rea
 sons for this (architectural history developing as a subset of art history
 \, for example) but also structural reasons for it: as ephemeral\, chaotic
 \, and literally dirt-y sites\, construction can challenge our neat schola
 rly frames and methods.\nThe presentations will be from architects\, histo
 rians\, and anthropologists. The series encourages that we as scholars spe
 nd more time in the field or in the archives of the construction site as a
  way of bringing a bit more “mud” back into our institutions and\, in 
 doing so\, better taking on questions of working conditions\, improvisatio
 n\, tacit knowledge\, and even uncertainty\, to name just a few of the way
 s that looking at construction can enrich our research work.\n\n21 Novembe

 tion: The Dadaab Refugee Camps and Humanitarian Settlement\n\nMud on the 
 Floor is coordinated by Sarah Nichols (THEMA Lab) and represents the 2024
  SCHOLARS in Transition public lecture series. This established EDAR ann
 ual series of lectures aims at giving a voice to contemporary scholars who
 \, within their ongoing research activity\, are experiencing a « transiti
 on » condition: their contribution to new and emerging research topics\,
  and to tentative interpretations and unconventional approaches\, marks th
 e intersection of their personal research agendas\, the evolution of their
  discipline\, the public debate\, and the availability of sources and data
 .
