ask to publish call for papers for Workshop Organized by Research Network 24 – Sociology of Science and Technology Network (SSTNET) of the European Sociological Association and University of Ljubljana
Dear Ladies and Gentlemans, <br> <br>I'd like to publish on Eurograd the call for papers for SSTNET workshop in <br>Ljubljana (see text bellow coloured in yellow or in attachment). Thanks in <br>advance for possibility to publish call for papers (second reminder) on your <br>e-mail list. <br>Best regards. <br>Franc Mali <br> <br> <br> <br> Call for <br>papers <br> <br> Critical engagement vs. technophobia: The risks of <br>emerging technologies <br>Workshop Organized by Research Network 24 Sociology of Science and <br>Technology Network (SSTNET) of the European Sociological Association <br> (ESA) and University of Ljubljana, <br>Faculty of Social Sciences, Slovenia <br> <br>Keynote speakers: Prof. Dr. Armin Grunwald and Prof. Dr. Joost van Loon <br> <br>October 11 12, 2018, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana <br> <br>The development and proliferation of emerging technologies have a strong <br>impact on current society. While emerging technologies are found in different <br>fields from biotechnology and Information and Communication Technologies <br>(ICTs) to robotics and cognitive technologies they share the capacity to <br>transform the social world into a world of becoming. Discussions on the <br>processes through which emerging technologies are developed and disseminated <br>into current society also contain different kinds of risk assessment, <br>including issues of social, ethical, environmental and legal implications. <br>Risk and risk management are thus intimately linked to the proliferation of <br>emerging technologies. Saying this, critical sociological discussion of <br>current concepts of risk, risk management and risk governance of emerging <br>technologies is timely and highly needed. As social scientists, we need to <br>take the current progression of emerging technologies seriously, not by <br>dismissing these technologies altogether, but by critically engaging with <br>their developments and our societal capacities to shape them. During this <br>two-days workshop, we will engage in different aspects of critical engagement <br>in relation to emerging technologies. We encourage contributions that focus on <br>risks with emerging technologies, including issues of social, ethical, <br>environmental and legal implications. We particularly encourage contributions <br>on the following topics: <br> Accounting for the unknown unknowns. <br> Social governance of emerging technologies. <br> Precautionary and/or proactive approaches. <br> The relation between development of emerging technologies and the <br>development of regulatory frameworks. <br> Engagement of the lay public and experts in relation to emerging <br>technologies. <br> Risk assessment of emerging technologies in the context of <br>Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). <br> Promises, future visions, expectations, imaginaries connected to <br>the progress of emerging technologies. <br> Techno-utopianism and techno-dystopianism. <br>However, potential contributions are not limited to these topics and <br>contributors are also encouraged to suggest new perspectives within the field <br>of social sciences. <br> <br>Key dates: <br>An abstract of up to 500 words, containing an outline of the paper, including <br>methodology as well as the expected contribution of the paper, should be <br>submitted online trough webpage: https://www.1ka.si/a/156548 <br> <br> <br>June 30, 2018 Deadline for submission <br>July 16, 2018 Notification of acceptance <br> <br>Workshop Organizing Committee: <br>Franc Mali: franc.mali@fdv.uni-lj.si <br>Jennie Olofsson: jennie.olofsson@fdv.uni-lj.si <br>Harald Rohracher: harald.rohracher@liu.se <br>Fabienne Crettaz von Roten: fabienne.crettazvonroten@unil.ch <br>Aaro Mikael Tupasela: aatu@sund.ku.dk <br>Katarina Prpic: katarina@idi.hr <br>Ana Delicado: ana.delicado@ics.ulisboa.pt <br>Anja Kolak: anja.kolak@fdv.uni-lj.si <br> <br>No fees are charged for participation and no founds are available from the <br>SSTNET to cover travel and accommodation expenses.
