<br>CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS
<br>4th Nordic Science and Technology Studies Conference
<br>Conference: June 13-14, 2019
<br>

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

<br>
<br>1. Submission of session proposals: December 5, 2018
