CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS
<br>4th Nordic Science and Technology Studies Conference
<br>Conference: June 13-14, 2019
<br>
<br>Pre-Conference: June 12, 2019
<br>Tampere University, Finland
<br>
<br>
<br>The field of science and technology studies (STS) has become
<br>increasingly prominent in the Nordic countries. The purpose of the
<br>biennial Nordic STS conference is to promote exchange of ideas and
<br>collaboration among STS scholars by providing a regional forum for
<br>presenting on-going research, networking, and initiating new ideas and
<br>conversations. The Nordic STS conference has been organised since
<br>2013, when the Centre for Technology, Innovation and Culture/TIK at
<br>University of Oslo took the initiative of organising the first
<br>conference.
<br>
<br>We are happy to announce the 4th Nordic STS conference to be held at
<br>Tampere University, Finland, in June 13-14. A pre-conference workshop
<br>for junior researchers will take place June 12th. The conference is
<br>organised in collaboration with The Finnish Society for Science and
<br>Technology Studies and the Research Center for Knowledge, Science,
<br>Technology and Innovation Studies, Tampere University. At the fourth
<br>Nordic STS conference the keynote speakers are: Harro van Lente,
<br>Maastricht University, Mianna Meskus, Tampere University and Maria
<br>Nedeva, University of Manchester.
<br>
<br>This year the conference has a two-stage submission process. In this
<br>first stage, we invite scholars to submit thematic session proposals
<br>that introduce a particular area of study, research problem, or
<br>research approach relating to science and technology studies.
<br>Proposals for thematic sessions should be short (max. 300 words) and
<br>contain a brief description of the topic as well as the names,
<br>institutional affiliations, and email addresses of the session
<br>organisers. The accepted sessions will be published in the second
<br>stage of the submission process.
<br>
<br>Please submit your session proposal by December 5, 2018, using the
<br>following link: https://www.lyyti.in/NordicSTS2019_CfS
<br>
<br>If you do not have a suggestion for a thematic session this year,
<br>don’t worry! We will publish a call for abstracts in December. You can
<br>then see if your research fits into one of the accepted thematic
<br>sessions or you can submit your abstract without an identified session
<br>(in which case, the conference organisers will place your presentation
<br>to a suitable session). The deadline for submitting abstracts will be
<br>January 18, 2019.
<br>
<br>Summary of important dates:
<br>
<br>1. Submission of session proposals: December 5, 2018
<br>2. Submission of abstracts: January 18, 2019
<br>3. Submission of abstracts for the pre-conference: January 18, 2019
