Reminder: CfP deadline February 14th: “Meetings of local knowledges: conflicts, complements, and reconfigurations” at EASST 2018
Dear all, <br> <br>A reminder that the deadline to submit papers for our panel Meetings of local <br>knowledges: conflicts, complements, and reconfigurations at EASST 2018, <br>25-28th July, Lancaster University, is February 14th. You can submit abstracts <br>and contact the conveners at <br>https://nomadit.co.uk/easst/easst2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6185. <br> <br>STS has long been interested in the situatedness of all knowledge and the <br>consequences this has for ways of being in the world, and has produced <br>insightful studies of situations where different ways of knowing collide or <br>slide past each other (e.g. Wynne, 1996; Verran, 1998). Today, in the face of <br>challenges such as climate change, environmental degradation and social <br>justice, traditional and other local knowledges are being revalued - but how, <br>by whom, and with what effects? International trends towards participation and <br>co-production, the 'turn' that was first lauded for bringing different actors <br>and knowledges together in newly productive relations, then lambasted as a <br>neoliberal project of co-option and colonisation, show no signs of abating. <br>Rather than rehearse the well-established arguments about the 'dark side' of <br>these trends, we seek "more nuanced analyses of the conflicting rationalities <br> and the dynamics and contradictions often found at the micro-level" <br>(Brownill & Parker, 2010). And we recognise that this applies as much to the <br>knowledges that we produce as the knowledges we research (Yeh, 2016). <br> <br>This panel invites contributions that investigate the processes of <br>mobilization, translation and application that are implied in enabling <br>different knowledges to meet and have effect in specific contexts. Ranging <br>from Indigenous people reinterpreting the knowledge of their elders to solve <br>contemporary problems, to local knowledges within Western cultures that are <br>tied to particular places and trajectories, we focus on the interfaces where <br>knowledges and worlds come together and how this encounter can become more <br>productive. <br> <br>References: <br> <br>BROWNILL, S. & PARKER, G. 2010.
