Last reminder | Announcement WTMC Spring Workshop DOING COMPARISON, 2 - 4 May 2018, Conference center Soeterbeeck, Deursen-Dennenburg, NL | Please register by 15 February 2018
WTMC Spring Workshop DOING COMPARISON <br> <br>2 - 4 May 2018 <br> <br>Conference centre Soeterbeeck, Deursen-Dennenburg, the Netherlands <br> <br>Comparison is pervasive throughout Science, Technology and Innovation Studies. <br>As STIS students, we study science or technology or innovations in two <br>different countries, we look at how participation to music varies between <br>groups, at how knowledge or technologies (may be made to) travel between <br>contexts, or how concepts have been used in different periods of time. We <br>search for similarities and differences, for ways to generalize from <br>case-studies, or for research designs that afford such generalizations right <br>from the start. We're deeply into comparison even if we're often hardly aware <br>of it. <br> <br>This workshop sets out to articulate and render reflexive STIS's engagements <br>with comparison. When do we do comparison, and why? How is comparison done, <br>epistemologically as well as practically? How can research objects be made <br>comparable? Does comparison always require symmetry? How does comparison <br>articulate or even produce difference? What are the assumptions and <br>infrastructures we build our comparative work with? What is a case-study a <br>study of, and what do we do when we compare countries, data-sets, or contexts? <br>And what do we make of the irreducibility, the situatedness, the singularity, <br>the context-specificity that as STIS researchers we've come to value so much <br>and that were a solid part of our critique of comparison? <br> <br>Different than usual, we will work around one central publication: Practising <br>Comparison (J. Deville, M. Guggenheim & Z. Hrdlikov (eds), 2015, Mattering <br>Press). <br> <br>The workshop is aimed at PhD students across STIS. <br> <br> <br> <br>Confirmed speakers include: Anna Harris, Sarah de Rijcke and Joe Deville. <br> <br> <br> <br>The registration form for this workshop is now available <br>here. <br> <br>Please register by 15 February 2018! <br> <br> <br> <br>Costs for WTMC members: meals 10 EUR /day. <br> <br>Costs for everyone else: 695 EUR, including fee, accommodation and meals. <br> <br> <br> <br>If you have any content-related questions regarding this workshop, please feel <br>free to contact Govert Valkenburg: <br>g.valkenburg@cwts.leidenuniv.nl or <br>Bernike Pasveer: <br>b.pasveer@maastrichtuniversity.nl <br> <br> <br> <br>For practical questions please contact Elize Schiweck: <br>e.schiweck@utwente.nl <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
