session on "Care in STS" at the Nordic STS conference 2019
Dear all, <br> <br>Please consider submitting an abstract to our thematic session at the next <br>Nordic STS Conference, which takes place in Tampere, 13th-14th of January, <br>2019. The deadline for submission is 18th of January, 2019. <br> <br>Find info on how to submit here: <br>https://events.uta.fi/nordicsts2019/call-for-papers-2/ <br> <br>Title: Care in STS - objects, transformations and politics <br> <br> <br>Description: <br>Care has - after being an important topic in feminist research since the 70's <br>- in recent years gained increased momentum in science and technology studies <br>(STS). Building on a feminist ethics of care, STS scholars have emphasised <br>local solutions rather than general ethical principles (Mol et al. 2010). By <br>attending to care as a material and political doing, focus has been on care as <br>something being enacted in diverse practices, such as farming (Singleton <br>2012), health care (Mol 2010), soil and permaculture (Puig de la Bellacasa <br>2017) and laboratories (Giraud & Hollin 2016). Moreover, feminist STS scholars <br>have noted that care is not a taken-for-granted good; it should not be <br>conflated with affection and positive feelings (Martin et al. 2015), and it <br>can include harm and vulnerabilities (Singleton & Mee 2017). In the process of <br>cherishing some things, care also excludes others. Importantly, this points <br>towards the possibilities and problems of care as a topic for STS research. <br>What is gained from studying practices as care practices and what is lost? <br>What is made present and what is made absent? When and where is it fruitful to <br>think about science and technology as matters of care? We are, thus, <br>interested in further pushing care as an analytical and empirical resource for <br>STS scholars. <br>This panel welcomes contributions that engage with care in various ways, and <br>from a range of empirical areas. We welcome papers that empirically, <br>methodologically and theoretically approach the growing importance of care for <br>STS analysis. This can for example be about: <br> <br> * Pushing care in new empirical areas <br> * Care as a matter of (translocal) responsibility <br> * Care as doing bads and goods <br> * Tensions between care as empirical practice and research practice <br> * Care research as ethico-political practice <br> * Methods as a way of doing care <br> <br>We look forward to your proposals! <br> <br> <br>Best, <br> <br>Doris Lydahl, University of Tampere/University of Gothenburg, <br>doris.lydahl@gu.se <br>Elena Bogdanova, University of Gothenburg, <br>elena.bogdanova@gu.se <br>Linda Soneryd, University of Gothenburg, <br>linda.soneryd@gu.se <br>Lisa Lindn, University of Gothenburg/Lancaster University, <br>lisa.linden@gu.se <br> <br> <br>___________________________________________ <br>Lisa Lindn <br>PhD, Postdoc <br>Department of Sociology and Work Science, University of Gothenburg <br>E-post: lisa.linden@gu.se <br>http://socav.gu.se/om_institutionen/personal?userId=xlinlb <br>Latest <br>publication: Lindn, L (forthcoming 2019) Love and Fear?
