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