See panel descriptions and <br>search for key words at <br>https://www.easst4s2020prague.org/accepted-open-panels-all-abstracts/ <br> <br> <br> <br>Call for abstracts to participate in Open Panel 97: <br> <br>Locating & Timing Governance in STS and Universities <br> <br>Organizers Knut H. Srensen (NTNU) and Sharon Traweek (UCLA) <br> <br>For many generations universities have been institutions of higher education <br>and research. Now they are expected to contribute to local and global <br>economies by commercializing research and spurring innovation, while <br>addressing grand social challenges like climate mitigation and social <br>disparities. They also must engage successfully in mass higher education and <br>outreach with a variety of publics. This means that universities now occupy a <br>strategic place in re/shaping society by circulating research and knowledge <br>through teaching and professional expertise. Meanwhile, universities have <br>become subject to increased auditing practices and austerity policies, locally <br>and globally. Many universities turn to experts in branding and <br>commodification for strategies in defining and representing their work as <br>successful. <br> <br>STS provides resources for understanding such dis/continuities in the making <br>and circulation of knowledge while the study of universities in dynamic <br>ecologies is vital to addressing unexamined assumptions in STS about the <br>relationship between research, teaching, and society, as well as the <br>governance of that relationship. We invite papers that address how <br>universities engage with the changing: <br> <br>- fragility and resilience of university cultures. <br> <br>- demands for rapid intellectual, social, and economic contributions to <br>society; <br> <br>- work life and agency of academics <br> <br>- relationship between teaching, research, innovation, and outreach; <br> <br>- use of social media and branding practices by universities; <br> <br>- intersectional issues in knowledge making, teaching, outreach, funding, and <br>society; <br> <br>- political economies of research, teaching, funding, and outreach; <br> <br>- campus infrastructures from software & budgets to buildings & <br>transportation; <br> <br>- increasingly complex webs of relationships among universities glocally <br>through rankings, MOUs, satellite campuses, academic mobilities, etc. <br> <br> The organizers are co-authors of Questing Excellence: Tales of Two <br>Universities (under contract with Routledge). <br> <br> <br> <br>Abstract Requirements: Give your main arguments, methods, and contributions to <br>specific aspects of the panel topic in in 250 words or less. Deadline for <br>abstract submissions is 29 February 2020.
