CfA: Crafting Critical Methodologies in Computing
Dear All, <br> <br>We cordially invite you to submit your abstracts for the panel “Crafting <br>Critical Methodologies in Computing”, which will take place during the <br>EASST/4S conference in Prague on August 18-21, 2020. <br> <br>Crafting Critical Methodologies in Computing: theories, practices and future <br>directions (Panel 32) <br>Panel Organisers (alphabetically ordered): Loren Britton, University of <br>Kassel; Claude Draude, University of Kassel, Germany; Juliane Jarke, <br>University of Bremen; Goda Klumbyte, University of Kassel <br>In the past decades there has been an explosion of “critical studies”, and <br>computing is no exception. Working to bring insights from critical theories <br>developed in the humanities and social sciences, the diverse scholarship that <br>can be located under “critical computing” is engaged in the laborious and <br>relevant project of translational work between disciplines, and generative <br>avenues for knowledge developed in the “subtle” sciences to bear <br>implication to how computational technologies are designed, produced and <br>deployed. <br>Critical computing draws inspiration and methodological tools from fields as <br>diverse as participatory design and design research, feminist theory and <br>gender studies, STS, artistic research and post-/de-colonial theory, among <br>others. In this panel we wish to investigate what are the methodological <br>approaches that can be employed within, by and for computing, which would be <br>capable of generating critical technical practices (Agre 1995), accurate and <br>critical accounts of power dynamics and processes of marginalization, and <br>craft space for alternative modes and methods of doing computing. <br>Specifically, we encourage contributions that address questions, including, <br>but not limited to: <br>• How can critical thought/theory inform methodology building (or reflecting <br>upon) in computing? <br>• How can interactions between (feminist, postcolonial) STS and computing <br>establish new methodological considerations? <br>• How do we decolonize computing and its methodologies? <br>• Where do we locate artistic research, arts practice and design in regards <br>to questions of methodology in computing? <br>• How can feminist and other critical epistemological knowledges generate <br>knowledge about and in computing that from an STS perspective challenge well <br>worn power dynamics? <br>Contact: claude.draude@uni-kassel.de, <br>https://www.uni-kassel.de/eecs/fachgebiete/gedis <br>Keywords: critical computing, feminist STS, methodologies, postcolonial <br>studies, artistic research <br>Categories: Gender/Sexuality/Feminist STS, Information, Computing and Media <br>Technology, Knowledge, Theory and Method <br> <br>To submit your abstract, please apply via conference abstract submission <br>system and mention the number of the panel that you would like to submit your <br>abstract to (in this case, panel 32). Papers submitted to an open panel will <br>be reviewed by the open panel organizer(s) and will be given first <br>consideration for that session. Also at the time of submission, you will also <br>be asked to nominate two alternative open panel preferences for your paper. In <br>the event that your paper is not included in the open panel of your first <br>preference it will be considered for the alternative panels indicated in your <br>submission. <br>Submission deadline is February 29, 2020. <br>For full information, please see conference <br>website https://www.easst4s2020prague.org/ and <br> <br> <br>-------------------- <br>www.enginesofdifference.org – blog for critical voices in computing <br>https://www.uni-kassel.de/eecs/fachgebiete/gedis - Gender/Diversity in <br>Informatics Systems @ University of Kassel <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
