The exponential growth of social networks has opened new avenues for innovators. As the world has shrunk, diffusion of innovations has grown faster, while the number of collaborative inventions has steadily increased. But a networked world has also its challenges. The channels that allow a disease to spread are those that prevent its cure from being accepted. And, with the advent of social media, controversies over innovations have broadened and intensified, becoming more difficult to navigate. Here, lessons can be learned from history. We are not the first to live in a small world. 17th-century Europe already presented a high degree of connectedness, with a few brokers bridging politically and culturally disparate regions. In this context, scientific and technological innovation thrived, as discoveriesfrom Galileos telescope to Newtons law of universal gravitationwere made at an unprecedented rate.
Framing innovationhow it is created and adopted, but also obstructed and deniedis an unescapable task for social scientists, historians, philosophers, computer scientists, and economists alike. The aim of this workshop is to foster a discussion across disciplines. Erasmus University Rotterdam has a tradition of interdisciplinary collaboration. Young scholars and leading experts are invited to share their research, discuss new methodologies, and communicate the results of their investigations. Submissions on any historical period and geographic location are welcome.
Abstracts no longer than 350 words accompanied by a short curriculum of the author(s) can be sent to rossini@esphil.eur.nl until 29 March 2021. The workshop will be in English.
Speakers and attendants will be able to participate in the workshop either in person or online.
The workshop is part of the project Cartesian Networks, which has received funding from the European Unions Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skodowska-Curie grant agreement No 891747.
