<br>
<br>*First STS-MIGTEC Paper Workshop ONLINE 25-26 January 2021 Call for Papers*
<br>
<br>The first STS-MIGTECH Paper Workshop invites scholars to present and
<br>discuss current work in several panels, to plan and prepare future
<br>network research activities, and to think about interventions beyond
<br>academic research. We invite you to submit your paper proposal, which
<br>are concerned with (but not limited to) the following questions:
<br>
<br>• How are migrant subjects shaped and affected by migration and border
<br>technologies? How do migrant subjects enact, subvert, appropriate them?
<br>• How do migration and border technologies shape transnational migration
<br>and border regimes?
<br>• How are migration/ border technologies and border control practices
<br>co-shaped?
<br>• What is the role of alternative, interventionist or oppositional
<br>technologies and infrastructures that are enacted by migrant subjects
<br>themselves or other actors in solidarity with migrant subjects?
<br>• Which material and epistemic politics are involved in this enactment?
<br>• What power effect does such involvement produce?
<br>• What are ways to critically and publicly engage with technologies and
<br>infrastructures of migration and border control?
<br>
<br>You can submit your paper proposal either to to an open panel (addressing
<br>the overarching questions above) or to 2 specific thematic panels (see
<br>attachment below):
<br>
<br>Please submit* title, abstract (up to 250 words), and authors of the paper,
<br>incl. affiliations and short bios (75 words*)* until* *30 September 2020 *to
<br> website.stsmigtech@gmail.com.
<br>
<br>Variety of topics linking STS and
<br>critical migration/border/security/surveillance studies is welcome.
<br>
<br>Best wishes,
<br>
<br>Silvan Pollozek
<br>on behalf of the STS MIGTEC conference team
