What is Influence’ gathers together a group of experts from across disciplines in order to share knowledge, establish similarities and differences in understanding and approach, and work together towards a shared goal. The idea of influence has been rejected many times, on many counts – as antiquated, as too much concerned with ‘the great man lineage’, as narrowing complexity and confluence to linear causality, as removing the agency of the influenced. In this two-day workshop, we aim to map the theories and methods of its study across disciplines, in order, if possible, to achieve some sort of consensus regarding an acceptable cross-disciplinary theory and practice of the study of influence.
