CfP: Interdisciplinary Conference on the Relations of Humans, Machines and Gender (16-19.10.2019, Braunschweig, Germany)

Interdisciplinary Conference on the Relations of Humans, Machines and
Gender


16-19th October 2019, Braunschweig/Germany


This interdisciplinary conference aims at bringing together
international researchers working on subjects in the fields of
engineering, technology, humanities, and the social and natural
sciences, who are interested in reflecting
on interdisciplinarity/multidisciplinarity, on science and technology
studies, as well as gender, feminist,
queer, intersectional, and postcolonial studies.

It is organized by the PhD program »Gendered Configurations of Humans
and Machines. Interdisciplinary Analyses of Technology« (in short:
KoMMa.G; a joined program of
Technische Universität Braunschweig, Ostfalia University of Applied
Sciences and Braunschweig
University of Art).

/There is growing interaction of humans and machines in numerous fields
of science, work, and everyday//
//life – a phenomenon which is not restricted to specific countries but
can be observed globally. This//
//interaction changes the way our working life is structured and how
science and technology are organized.//
//And what about the human individual? What role does, for example, sex,
gender, sexual identity, age, skin//
//color, migration, or cultural background play?//
//
//The conference is divided into four panels considering the different
yet connected dimensions of the//
//conference topic. The first panel aims at reflecting on the meaning of
interdisciplinarity itself, while the//
//following sessions focus on the relations of human, machine, and
gender from diverse perspectives.//
/

/Interdisciplinary Analyses as Chance and Challenge/
/Humans and Machines in Everyday Life/
/Gender and Diversity in Work and Technologies/
/Questioning STS – A Postcolonial and Intersectional Perspective/
