Dear collegues, Apologies for any cross-posting: Attached you find a CfP
<br>for the Summer School "Science and Politics" at the University of Bonn,
<br>10-14 September 2018. Recent years have pointed to ever-growing
<br>interdependencies between science and politics. The mutual entanglement
<br>of both spheres manifests on many levels: In the face of complex societal
<br>challenges, ranging from migration crises to climate change, political
<br>decision making is ever more reliant on scientific expertise and policy
<br>advice. As a consequence, the institutionalization of politically
<br>relevant scientific advice has substantially diversified over the years,
<br>ranging from governmental, yet independent expert organizations and
<br>advisory positions, to think tanks or international expert agencies.
<br>Universities as well as individual scientists, in turn, are responsive to
<br>political demands and changing government regimes. Both academic research
<br>and the higher education system depend on political resources, the
<br>provision of a regulatory framework, a functioning education system and
<br>so forth. Recent scholarship in Science and Technology Studies (STS),
<br>Higher Education Studies (HES), and Science Policy and Innovation Studies
<br>(SPIS) aims at qualifying this intricate relationship between science and
<br>politics, in its various, oftentimes subtle, even hidden, dimensions.
<br>In nine different workshops, the summer school will address questions
<br>like:
<br>- How are science and politics entangled in practices, processes, and
<br>institutions? How are they co-produced?
<br>- How do contemporary evaluation regimes impact academic careers and
<br>processes of knowledge production?
<br>- How does technological change – such as digitization or Blockchain
<br>technologies – impact science and its organization?
<br>- How do political imperatives – such as diversity concepts – impact
<br>science and higher education?
<br>- How are accelerating processes of internationalization inscribed in
<br>scientific institutions and practices?
<br>- How do concepts and ideologies shape science policy trajectories?
<br>Keynotes by Daniel Sarewitz (Arizona State University), Rudolf Stichweh
<br>(University of Bonn) and James Wilsdon (University of Sheffield). For
