A researcher in the humanities and social sciences might instinctively think about text. Writing and publishing remains the most common way to communicate our findings. But research, science and knowledge are also mediated through other channels and in other materialities than text, moving in bodies and through various performative practices. Different formats also engender different mechanisms that seek to regulate these movement(s) of knowledge: from publishing contracts to secrecy.
Circulating Knowledge is designed around two basic principles: knowledge circulates through different forms and materialities, and knowledge is set in motion (or prevented from being set in motion) through different norms and regulations, informal as well as formal.

Graduate students working on any related topic with interest in knowledge circulation.
