Working Group 1:
Trace as Ethical, Methodological, and Conceptual Challenge
WG1 is a cross-thematic group that brings together members to coordinate activities and explore the conceptual, methodological, ethical, and experimental approaches to trace across the domains of technology, social justice and climate change. The aim of this WG is to articulate emerging debates on traces in the light of inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinary approaches, and develop new research agendas.
WG1 Chair: Lee Douglas [ldouglas@fcsh.unl.pt]
Working Group 2:
Traces and Social Justice
WG2 focuses on exploring the life of traces in contemporary social, political, and historical struggles connected to the legacies of mass violence, colonialism, and gender and class inequality. Combining research, art and activism, the group will investigate topics including spectral legacies of dispossession, hidden traces of resistance and contentious heritage forms, from monuments and memorials to human remains and collections.
WG2 Co-Chairs: Sanja Horvatinčić & Karolina Pauknerova

Working Group 3:
Traces and Climate Change
WG3 connects interdisciplinary research on traces in relation to landscape and environment. It advances perspectives on traces in relation to climate change, specifically the social impact of natural disasters, the loss of biodiversity, and environmental degradation (e.g., post-mining, post-conflict landscapes, rewilding).
WG3 Co-Chairs: Petr Gibas & Alberto Berzosa
