<br>Dear colleagues,
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Please note our call for workshop participation:
<br>
<br>
<br>Exploring Values in Technology Across Methods and Disciplines
<br>
<br>
<br>We are pleased to invite you to participate in an upcoming workshop exploring
<br>the empirical pursuits of studying values on October 31 - November 1, 2019 at
<br>TU Delft, Delft, the Netherlands.
<br>
<br>Technological advancement, along with the many benefits, simultaneously
<br>changes the societal canvas, at individual, institutional and legal levels.
<br>Digital technologies defy barriers of space and time, and connect people like
<br>never before, but simultaneously raise issues of divide, surveillance,
<br>information management, and loneliness. Production rates worldwide are
<br>reaching historical highs with the help of new agricultural and engineering
<br>technologies, but in parallel climate change and energy transition are
<br>becoming overwhelming global problems, and increasing automation invites to
<br>reconsider the nature and value of work. Technological challenges are complex
<br>and require interdisciplinary collaboration. In this workshop, we will
<br>consider questions of values that underlies all these technological
<br>challenges.
<br>
<br>To understand better what is at stake with the intertwinement of values and
<br>technologies, we will explore the empirical methods used in different
<br>disciplines that study the social and moral dimensions of values. The speakers
<br>will present how they study values empirically in the fields of philosophy,
<br>policy analysis, environmental psychology, sociology, design anthropology and
<br>others. Thus, the workshop aims to bring together a wide range of scientific
<br>domains to explore the question of values across methods and disciplines.
<br>
<br>Attendance in the workshop is free of charge and limited to 30 participants.
<br>If you are interested, please fill in the hyperlinked online registration
<br>form with a short statement of motivation
<br>before October 1, 2019. Confirmed speakers include Janet Davis (Grinnell
<br>college USA), and Karen Henwood (Cardiff University, UK). Further speakers,
<br>exact location and agenda of the workshop will be announced soon.
<br>
<br>This workshop is part of the project ValueChange that has received funding
<br>from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon
<br>2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 788321. See

<br>Looking forward to seeing some of you in Delft in October,
<br>
<br>
<br>Best regards,
