Concepts – their nature\, how they work and how they can be eng ineered – are important objects of study in philosophy. At the same time \, the notion of concept travel between and across different geographical and disciplinary domains has growing popularity in discussions about foste ring interdisciplinarity and broader debates about addressing inequality i n global knowledge production. For example: the integration and adoption o f concepts from marginalized epistemic communities is touted by some as a crucial part of decolonizing global knowledge production and challenging E urocentrism in global knowledge production.\\r\\nThis workshop aims to ref lect on two broad questions. The first question investigates the link betw een concept travel and concept engineering. Do concepts change in travelin g to different domains? What is the nature of this change\, and can it be understood as a form of conceptual engineering?

This workshop aims t o reflect on two broad questions. The first question investigates the link between concept travel and concept engineering. Do concepts change in tra veling to different domains? What is the nature of this change\, and can i t be understood as a form of conceptual engineering? The second question e xplores the ways in which concepts and conceptual travel are understood in recent scholarship theorizing and challenging inequality in global knowle dge production.

The event is organized in the context of the SNSF-project \;“Reversing the Gaze”< /a> \;and in collaboration with the \;African Centre for Ep istemology and Philosophy of Science at the University of Johannesburg . \;"Reversing the Gaze" \;uses a "conceptual laboratory" to take a critical theoretical approach by deplo ying concepts developed in the Global South to the North. It tests the ana lytic purchase of three mid-level concepts – "re-tribalisation"\, "polit ical society" and "the cunning state" – on political crisis phenomena in Europe against the background of a careful inquiry into the methodologica l scope of comparison.
