Dr Karim Knio, Dr Juan David Parra, and PhD researcher Andrew Dryhurst successfully participated in the 2025 International Association for Critical Realism (IACR) Conference, held from July 28 to August 1 at the Academy of Applied Sciences (TWP) in Szczecin, Poland.
The three researchers took part in a panel on Morphogenetic Regulation, where they presented both theoretical and empirical innovations in Critical Realism emerging from ISS.
Their contributions built on Dr Knio’s recent work integrating Spinozian philosophy, Margaret Archer’s Morphogenetic Approach and French Regulation Theory into Critical Realist scholarship, offering fresh perspectives for theorizing complex social systems.
According to former IACR president, Professor Douglas Porpora (Drexel University, USA), ISS contributions are increasingly recognized as a reference point within the global Critical Realist community.
