Ylwa Sjölin Wirling
Pro Futura Scientia Fellow, SCAS
Associate Professor of Theoretical Philosophy, University of Gothenburg
About
Ylwa Sjölin Wirling was admitted to the Pro Futura Scientia Programme in 2023. She will be in residence at SCAS in the academic year 2025-26.
Wirling’s Pro Futura project is titled Between Knowledge and Ignorance: Epistemic Possibilities in Inquiry. In a nutshell, it explores the role that epistemic possibility judgments – about what might be the case, as far as one knows – do and should play at various stages of an inquiry, and seeks to develop an account of epistemic possibility that can help us better understand the nature, value, and epistemology of such judgments.
Julia Velkova
Pro Futura Scientia Fellow, SCAS
Associate Professor of Media and Communication Studies, TEMA, Linköping University
About
Julia Velkova was admitted to the Pro Futura Scientia Programme in 2022. She will be in residence at the Collegium during the academic year 2025-26.
Velkova’s Pro Futura project, “When Communication Networks Come to Die: Socio-Cultural Perspectives on Infrastructural Dismantling” explores how the taking down of century-old media infrastructure refigures relations of power, knowledge, and understandings of citizenship in everyday life, with empiric focus on the ongoing decomissioning of the landline telephone network in Sweden.
Jack Wright
Pro Futura Scientia Fellow, SCAS
Senior Lecturer in Theory of Science, University of Gothenburg
About
Jack Wright was admitted to the Pro Futura Scientia Programme in 2023. He will be in residence at the Collegium in the academic year 2025-26.
Wright’s Pro Futura Scientia project will offer a picture of reliance on science as reliance on a certain kind of social institution – based on a combination of the organisational features of science and the dispositional attitudes of scientists.
