Dear collegues, Apologies for any cross-posting: Attached you find a CfP
for the Summer School "Science and Politics" at the University of Bonn,
10-14 September 2018. Recent years have pointed to ever-growing
interdependencies between science and politics. The mutual entanglement
of both spheres manifests on many levels: In the face of complex societal
challenges, ranging from migration crises to climate change, political
decision making is ever more reliant on scientific expertise and policy
advice. As a consequence, the institutionalization of politically
relevant scientific advice has substantially diversified over the years,
ranging from governmental, yet independent expert organizations and
advisory positions, to think tanks or international expert agencies.
Universities as well as individual scientists, in turn, are responsive to
political demands and changing government regimes. Both academic research
and the higher education system depend on political resources, the
provision of a regulatory framework, a functioning education system and
so forth. Recent scholarship in Science and Technology Studies (STS),
Higher Education Studies (HES), and Science Policy and Innovation Studies
(SPIS) aims at qualifying this intricate relationship between science and
politics, in its various, oftentimes subtle, even hidden, dimensions.
In nine different workshops, the summer school will address questions
like:
- How are science and politics entangled in practices, processes, and
institutions? How are they co-produced?
- How do contemporary evaluation regimes impact academic careers and
processes of knowledge production?
- How does technological change – such as digitization or Blockchain
technologies – impact science and its organization?
- How do political imperatives – such as diversity concepts – impact
science and higher education?
- How are accelerating processes of internationalization inscribed in
scientific institutions and practices?
- How do concepts and ideologies shape science policy trajectories?
