*----**_*Call for Abstract Announcement*_-----*
The 8th STS Italia Conference will
be hosted by the University of Trieste, Italy, June 17 through 19, 2021,
by the Italian Society of Science and Technology Studies.
The conference will be an opportunity to present empirical and
theoretical work from a variety of disciplines: sociology, anthropology,
design, economics, history, law, philosophy, psychology and semiotics.
The focal theme of the 8th STS Italia Conference will be "Dis/Entangling
Technoscience: Vulnerability, Responsibility and Justice”. This broad
theme refers to the complex and ambivalent role of technoscience and
innovation in constituting societies – making possibilities flourish,
but also creating new vulnerabilities. The conference will include 28
tracks, which are clustered into five thematic streams. The tracks focus
on several topics, including: biomedicine, digital platforms and media,
work and organizations, expertise and public policy, ethics of
technology and innovation, and governance of science and technology at
large.
*Abstracts (written in English, or in Italian in case of tracks in two
language) should be submitted by December, 18* to the conference email
address (stsitaliaconf@gmail.com ) and
to the emails of convenors' selected track. Track Convenor(s) will be
responsible for reviewing, accepting/rejecting and organising
submissions into their track.
