Policy in Motion: transnational translation and assemblages

The Publics Research Group presents a seminar based on a current collaborative project exploring policy as translation. The seminar explores the problems of studying mobile policies, in particular how to overcome the limits of conventional approaches to policy transfer and policy learning. Offering a combination of analytic reflection and diverse case studies, the seminar will be of interest to anyone interested in thinking about the articulations of politics, policies and power in the contemporary world.
