CfP "Unsettling technogenarians: interferences and synergies at the crossroads of Age Studies and Science and Technology Studies"
*Unsettling technogenarians: interferences and synergies at the crossroads <br>of Age Studies and Science and Technology Studies.* <br> <br>*Call for papers for 2nd International Workshop on Socio-gerontechnology* <br> <br>The CareNet research group has the pleasure <br>to invite papers for an *international workshop* exploring the intersection <br>of Science and Technology Studies and Age Studies, to be held in the Internet <br>Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3/UOC) in <br>Castelldefels (Barcelona) on the *21st-22nd June 2018*. <br> <br>After its 2017 inaugural meeting in Vienna, this is the second workshop of <br>the Socio-gerontechnology network that explores themes at the intersection <br>of STS and Age Studies. The aims of the Barcelona meeting are to bring <br>together scholars working in this and related areas, discuss recent <br>developments in the field, and further build the network. There will be <br>ample room to discuss papers. <br> <br>The concept "technogenarian" is proposed by Joyce and Loe (2010) to bring <br>to the fore aspects of the ageing experience that usually remain concealed <br>by structural ageism: older people are not only the beneficiaries or dupers <br>of science and technologies but they create, use, and adapt technologies to <br>negotiate in every dimension of their daily life. The existence of the <br>technogenarians signals a research domain at the crossroad of Science and <br>Technology Studies and Ageing Studies that is currently under explored. <br>However, as Joyce and Loe (2010) acknowledge, the technogenarians are <br>usually the "economically privileged baby boomers" that seem to better <br>enact the successful and active ageing core values. By unsettling <br>technogenarians, we are sending an invitation to social science scholars to <br>further explore this interstitial domain between STS and Ageing Studies in <br>order to address questions such as: what are the critical consequences of <br>science and technological innovations in the life of older people, what <br>forms of "being old" or social groups are left aside, co-opted, or <br>normalized in the design and implementation of new technologies for active <br>ageing. *In sum, we would like to explore what happens to Age Studies and <br>STS if rather than greying the cyborg we try to cyborg the grey.* <br> <br>We welcome paper proposals from people at any stage in their career around <br>the topic of the call or any of the following which can be situated at the <br>crossroad of Age Studies and Science and Technology Studies. <br> <br>● The digital everyday life of older people <br>● Gaming and older people <br>● Social media, participation and isolation in later life <br>● Critical approaches to active & independent ageing and silver economy <br>● The constitution of later life in biomedical and ICT innovations <br>● Changing geographies of later life in a digitized world <br>● Ageism, antiaging and innovation <br>● Design for, with and by older people <br>● Care infrastructures in the ageing societies <br>● Future making and the coming of the ageing society <br>● Queering ageing <br>● Citizenship, activism and older people. <br> <br>Abstracts of no more than *300 words* should be submitted to carenet@uoc.edu <br> by *15th of March*. We will inform authors if they are accepted by *30th <br>March.* <br> <br>-- <br>Daniel López Gómez <br>IN3 - Internet Interdisciplinary Institute <br>CareNet Research Group <br>Estudis de Psicologia i Ciències de l'Educació <br>*Associate Professor* <br>(+34) 933 263 681 <br>dlopezgo@uoc.edu <br> <br>Av.
