Call for Abstracts: Workshop 'Hostility by Design', due 8 January 2025

[cid:08767f08-2b06-4538-b437-97e9418e5f12] I am pleased to announce that I am organising a workshop, to be held in Maastricht on 12-13 June 2025. Abstracts are due on 8 January 2025. Full details in the attached. The workshop is supported by the Maastricht University Science, Technology and Society (MUSTS) research programme and by the Department of Society Studies, both in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS). In recent years, perhaps stimulated by the growing awareness of the power of digital technologies, there have been calls for engineers and designers to advance values by design, such as democracy, participation, privacy and transparency. This builds on earlier inclusive design and access-for-all initiatives. But not all encounters with technologies are fulfilling, and some are designed to exclude or harm people, animals and nature. This workshop focuses on those technologies that could be described as hostile or exclusionary by design.
