This is astonishingly similar to what is seen in university settings. There it has another name- “academic mobbing”. The easiest way to deal with complaints about the organization is to suspend or fire the person raising the issues.
My visiting profile is now up on @CamDigHum @Cambridge_Uni

🧘"Embodied Aesthetics: The Body and Embodiment in the Arts and Arts-Based Research" (A Transdisciplinary Conference June 20-21, 2026)

June 21: Online only
Proposal deadline: April 26, 2026
Conference webpage: labrc.co.uk/body-and-embodim…
This gathering explores how the body, as a site of sensation, memory, and imagination, becomes a primary medium through which art, research, and meaning take form. From #psychosomatic experiences to body-based creative methodologies, from #dance therapy to the impact of athletics on artistic expression, this conference seeks to investigate how the body is not only represented in art but also acts as an instrument of knowledge, memory, and transformation.
We welcome proposals for 15-minutes presentations (academic, creative, or a hybrid of both) that engage with embodiment from a range of perspectives, including but not limited to:
-#Poetry and the body
-The #MedicalHumanities in the arts
-Illness and creative processing
-The body as material
-#Embodiment in creative process
-The body as a medium of Arts-Based Research
-#Psychosomatics and the expressive body
-Psycho-body dynamics
-Body-based therapies and healing arts
-#Sports, #athletics, and movement
-#Technology and the posthuman body
-The #sacred and #ritual body
-#Disability, difference and the body
-The #gendered and #queer body
-The body in space and movement
-#Memory, #trauma and the body
-Ecologies of embodiment
For any inquiries, please contact our conferences team on [email protected]
We look forward to your contributions in what promises to be an inspiring and interdisciplinary exploration of embodiment in the #arts!

Today marks what would have been historian, scholar and activist, Walter Rodney's 84th birthday. How Europe Underdeveloped Africa is a book we should all read.
