Dear list members, <br> <br>We would like to invite you to submit an abstract (250 words max) to our open <br>panel #166 entitled "STS for a Post-truth Age: Comparative Dialogues on <br>Reflexivity” to be held at EASST/4S Conference between August 18 - August 21 <br>in Prague. https://www.easst4s2020prague.org/ <br> <br> <br>Please contact us if you have any questions. <br> <br>Open Panel # 166 STS for a Post-truth Age: Comparative Dialogues on <br>Reflexivity <br> <br>The linear model of knowledge creation and diffusion has frequently been <br>criticized by STS scholars through an emphasis on social contexts of <br>knowledge. Based on this critique, reflexivity plays an important role in <br>pushing the academic boundaries of STS. True to the conference focus <br>“locating and timing matters”, it is important to take into account <br>various accelerated ways of knowledge circulation, as STS scholars are faced <br>with challenges of the post-truth age. <br> <br>The panel calls for laying the groundwork for a reflexive dialogue on how to <br>practice STS in the post truth age by emphasizing the importance of reciprocal <br>sharing across a diverse group of participants. We are interested in <br>contributions that engage empirically and theoretically with the concepts of <br>truth, evidence and objectivity from a comparative perspective. We are <br>particularly seeking contributions that highlight the digital and <br>infrastructural materiality of the post-truth age. We also welcome studies of <br>STS practices in different cultural settings, shedding light on heterogeneous <br>ways of practicing and doing STS for a post-truth age. We invite papers <br>dealing with but not limited to following questions:What does sustainable STS <br>look like? What kinds of practices and output should we be aiming for without <br>necessarily swinging back to the ideal of objectivity?How can STS continue to <br>critically engage with the hegemonic narratives of S&T and find meaningful <br>ways to address the promotion of alternative facts?How can we conceptualize <br>expertise in an age of networked advocacy, citizen journalism, participatory <br>science and new demands on verification? <br> <br>Keywords: post-truth age, dialogues on reflexivity, academic boundaries of <br>STS <br>Categories: Knowledge, Theory and Method <br>Organizers: <br>Melike Sahinol, Orient Institute Istanbul <br> <br>Emine Onculer Yayalar, Bilkent University <br> <br>Contact: emineonculer@bilkent.edu.tr or <br>melike.sahinol@gmail.com <br>For more information: https://www.easst4s2020prague.org/ <br> <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
