Special Issue In the Hands of Technology
Sorry for cross-posting: <br> <br>Dear colleagues, <br> <br>Please find below an announcement for a call for papers for the Special <br>Issue *"In the Hands of Technology: Care in the XXI Century" *in the <br>*International <br>Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health *(Open Access Journal). <br> <br>Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline (*31 October 2020*). <br>Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as <br>accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. <br>Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are <br>invited. <br> <br>More information: <br>https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/special_issues/Technology_Care <br>Guest editors: <br>Miquel Domènech (miquel.domenech@uab.cat) & Núria Vallès-Peris ( <br>nuria.valles@uab.cat) <br> <br>Best regards, <br>Núria <br>______________ <br>*CALL FOR PAPERS* <br>*Special Issue "In the Hands of Technology: Care in the XXI Century"* <br>*International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health* <br>*Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 October 2020* <br> <br>The incorporation of technological solutions to all kinds of problems is <br>something which is becoming more and more present in our daily life. <br>Teleassistance devices, diabetes monitoring systems, intelligent houses or <br>robotic pets are examples of present caring technologies that condition and <br>modulate our relations with the environment and with others. “In the Hands <br>of Technology: Care in the XXI Century” is an invitation to reflect on the <br>development of care technologies, with a special interest in identifying <br>the main challenges of the intensification of the implementation of <br>technology into care processes. <br> <br>Faced with discourses that often see the incorporation of technology into <br>care processes as inevitable, we propose an in-depth discussion on how we <br>want to be cared for in the future. Not to deny a role to technology, but <br>to take it to the point where it can serve as a contribution to good care. <br>We would like to receive submissions covering all the possible aspects <br>concerning this debate: ethical, social, political, economic, and so on. <br> <br>There are many issues we would like to address. For instance: What are the <br>ethics of care embedded in technological developments? Do caring artifacts <br>respond to the emotional and social needs of most vulnerable people? What <br>is the economic and political logic behind the development of care robots <br>and other similar technologies? How do the different groups involved in the <br>care activities participate in the conception and design of these devices? <br>This Special Issue departs from the present, but it is a reflection on the <br>future, on how we want to approach our life in common with the machines of <br>tomorrow. It is a reflection on how we want to grow, how we want to age, <br>the world we want to be born in, and the technologies we will find in it. <br> <br>The list of topics may include (but are not limited to): <br> <br> - The future of care <br> - Ethical issues <br> - The impact of technology in vulnerable groups <br> - The role of robots in care <br> - The design of technologies of care <br> - Imaginaries of care technologies <br> - Aging in a technological world <br> - Care technology assessment <br> - STS approach to care <br> <br>Guest Editors: Dr. Miquel Domènech and Dr. Núria Vallès-Peri*s* <br>More information on this issue can be found at: <br>https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/special_issues/Technology_Care <br> <br>-- <br>Núria Vallès Peris <br>*Barcelona Science and TEchnology Studies Group (STS-b)* <br>Departament de Psicologia Social <br> <br>Edifici B.
