Martin Savransky
Martin Savransky is Reader and Director of the Centre for Critical Global Change at Goldsmiths, University of London, where he leads the MA Ecology, Culture & Society. Working across (geo)philosophy, critical climate studies, and global social thought, his writing seeks to activate speculative methodologies of life on an earth unstable and unsafe. He is the author of Around the Day in Eighty Worlds: Politics of the Pluriverse (Duke University Press, 2021) and The Adventure of Relevance: An Ethics of Social Inquiry (with a foreword by Isabelle Stengers; Palgrave, 2016), and the co-editor of After Progress (Sage, 2022) and of Speculative Research: The Lure of Possible Futures (Routledge, 2017). He has edited special volumes on critiques of progress in a planetary age (The Sociological Review, 2022), on the art of problematisation (Theory, Culture & Society, 2021), and on the philosophy of Isabelle Stengers (SubStance: A Review of Theory and Literary Criticism). He has also published essays in forums such as Theory, Culture & Society, Subjectivity, Social Text, Culture, Theory & Critique, Medical Humanities, and SubStance: A Review of Literary and Cultural Criticism. He is currently working on a new book length project (tentatively) titled Exology: Planetary Social Life and the Force of the Outside.
