CfP: Integrity: personal virtue, remedy for fraud, object of governance? @EASST2018
Dear all, <br> <br>We cordially invite paper proposals for the panel Integrity: personal virtue, <br>remedy for fraud, object of governance? at the EASST 2018 meeting, 25-28th <br>July 2018, Lancaster, UK. Please submit your abstract at <br>https://nomadit.co.uk/easst/easst2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6253 or <br>contact one of the convenors for further information. <br> <br>Integrity can among other things be understood as a virtue, as a policy and <br>governance objective, and as a remedy against fraudulent and irresponsible <br>research. Traditionally, integrity has been reckoned a virtue of the <br>individual scientist, possibly inscribed in professional codes and discussed <br>in the realm of professional ethics. In recent years, the notion increasingly <br>emerges as an object for (academic) governance, a criterion for assessment and <br>advancement, and a value in defense of scientific authority. This panel <br>invites perspectives on integrity and on the transformations the concept <br>undergoes under social and institutional changes. <br> <br>This shift has consequences for how accountability is attributed. Also, it may <br>lead to novel way of mobilizing the notion in public debate and public media, <br>as well as in more specific and contained discourses such as responsible <br>research and innovation. In those cases, it is likely to entangle with complex <br>constructions of truth, safety and technological efficacy. Alternatively, <br>calls for integrity may serve the imposition of more rigid methodological <br>frameworks, which raises the question which paradigms (e.g. from medical <br>sciences, or social sciences and humanities) prevail. In a broader sense, <br>novel forms of 'integrity management' may rearrange research practices. <br>Finally, researching integrity is inherently reflexive: if the <br>conceptualisation and construction of integrity in researched practices <br>change, how does this protrude into what social-scientific researchers reckon <br>their responsibility and integrity? <br> <br>This panel welcomes papers discussing integrity and how it transforms under <br>the influence of current changes in organizational, professional and societal <br>arrangements, and how it is negotiated vis--vis socio-economic pressures on <br>the research and innovation system. We invite conceptual and empirical <br>contributions presenting novel perspectives on integrity and related values as <br>concepts that are transformed, enacted and circulated. <br> <br>Abstracts should be submitted no later than 14 February 2018. <br> <br>Convenors are Govert Valkenburg (Leiden University), Sarah de Rijcke (Leiden <br>University), Barend van der Meulen (Rathenau Instituut) and <br>Bart Penders (Maastricht University) <br> <br> <br>Best wishes on behalf of the convenors, <br> <br>Dr. Ir.
