CFP: 97. Time-Scapes of Toxicity @4S Sydney
Dear all <br> <br>We are seeking abstract submissions for our open panel at the 4S 2018 <br>conference in Sydney. Call for abstracts is due on Feb. 1, 2018 (You can see <br>the full list of open panels as well as submit your abstract here: <br>https://4s2018sydney.org/accepted-open-panels-4s/ <br>). Please contact any of <br>the organizers if you have any questions! <br> <br>97. Time-Scapes of Toxicity <br> <br>Organizers: <br>Britt Dahlberg (Chemical Heritage Foundation; BDahlberg@chemheritage.org <br>) <br> <br>Yeonsil Kang (The Catholic University of Korea; yeonsil.kang.30@gmail.com <br>) <br> <br>How does time play out in toxicity? While ideas of “the Anthropocene” and <br>“slow disaster” urge consideration of hazards along much longer <br>timeframes, the multiplicity and simultaneity of temporal scales—of humans, <br>natures, and materials such as plastics, pesticides, or radiation—complicate <br>the ways actors and researchers comprehend time within and across polluted <br>sites. <br>Time-scapes connect with land- and socio-scapes. On the one hand, <br>acknowledgment of toxicity develops at different times in different regions, <br>and industries strategically shift extraction and manufacturing to navigate <br>costs and regulation. On the other hand, human actions bring about new <br>openings and closures to toxicity – for instance, when actors reframe <br>asbestos as a present-day environmental hazard, rather than occupational <br>hazard “of the past” to mobilize attention and intervention. <br> <br>We welcome papers exploring questions such as: Where in time do actors locate <br>risks, and what work does that do? Where are places located in relation to <br>time-scapes of toxins? In what ways do actors make sense of temporal scales in <br>polluted sites, and work to open and close problems of toxicity? How do <br>temporal boundaries relate to efforts to manage hazards and enact safety? How <br>does temporal locating of risk, shift public priorities or felt experiences of <br>being “at risk” or safe? How do actors and could researchers comprehend a <br>longue durée of hazards? By asking these questions, this panel contributes to <br>the understanding of transnationality of knowledge production, technological <br>inventions and usages, and regulation and activism about hazards – through <br>thinking across temporal and spatial boundaries. <br>********** <br>강연실 Yeonsil Kang <br>Ph.D., Science and Technology Policy <br> <br>Postdoctoral Research Fellow <br>The Catholic University of Korea <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
