*Interdisciplinary Conference on the Relations of Humans, Machines and
<br>Gender*
<br>
<br>*16-19th October 2019, Braunschweig/Germany*
<br>
<br>
<br>This interdisciplinary conference aims at bringing together
<br>international researchers working on subjects in the fields of
<br>engineering, technology, humanities, and the social and natural
<br>sciences, who are interested in reflecting
<br>on interdisciplinarity/multidisciplinarity, on science and technology
<br>studies, as well as gender, feminist,
<br>queer, intersectional, and postcolonial studies.
<br>
<br>It is organized by the PhD program »Gendered Configurations of Humans
<br>and Machines. Interdisciplinary Analyses of Technology« (in short:
<br>KoMMa.G; a joined program of
<br>Technische Universität Braunschweig, Ostfalia University of Applied
<br>Sciences and Braunschweig
<br>University of Art).
<br>
<br>/There is growing interaction of humans and machines in numerous fields
<br>of science, work, and everyday//
<br>//life – a phenomenon which is not restricted to specific countries but
<br>can be observed globally. This//
<br>//interaction changes the way our working life is structured and how
<br>science and technology are organized.//
<br>//And what about the human individual? What role does, for example, sex,
<br>gender, sexual identity, age, skin//
<br>//color, migration, or cultural background play?//
<br>//
<br>//The conference is divided into four panels considering the different
<br>yet connected dimensions of the//
<br>//conference topic. The first panel aims at reflecting on the meaning of
<br>interdisciplinarity itself, while the//
<br>//following sessions focus on the relations of human, machine, and
<br>gender from diverse perspectives.//
