Dear all,
Following the many requests received, the deadline for submitting panel proposals for the upcoming 10th STS Italia Conference has been extended until 28 October.
The conference “Technoscience for Good: Designing, Caring and Reconfiguring” will be held on 11-13 June, 2025, at the Politecnico di Milano in Milan, Italy.
We welcome proposals for open panels, which will be opened to paper submissions during the general call for abstracts. Panel organizers are asked to submit only a title and a brief description of the panel’s topic. Depending on the number of paper submissions, panels can consist of more than one session.
Along with conventional panels and paper presentations, we encourage engagement with alternative or experimental formats. These can include (but are not limited to) roundtables, workshop-style sessions, meet-ups, and performances of all sorts. Please include details on the panel format in the panel description.
Applicants are encouraged to engage with the general theme of the conference covering a wide variety of topics and domains including (but not limited to) the following:
• Reconfiguration, regeneration, and recuperation
• Political participation and grassroots movements in technoscience
• Feminist, post-/decolonial, and crip technoscience
• Ethics of care, repair, and maintenance
• Work, labour relations, technology, and automation
• Moralising technology and the ethics of design
• Politics of artefacts, life and infrastructures
• STS as intervention and activism
• Adaptation and appropriation of science and technology
• Practices of resistance, subversion, and transformation
• Inter- and cross-disciplinarity between STS and associated disciplines
• Technoscience and/from the Global South
• Critical studies on AI, digital media and algorithmic imaginaries
• Historical conceptualizations of ‘good’ technoscience
• Research and materiality in History of science
• Philosophy and History of science in practice
• Openness, porosity, and trading zones
• Fairness, equality, equity, and diversity
• Epistemic (in)justice
• Design/data/climate justice
• Positionality of STS research in hegemonic institutions and
methodological implications
Panel proposals can be submitted through the new STS Italia website, which features a dedicated platform for the conference (https://stsitalia.org/submission-2025/). Each panel organizer can propose and organize only one panel. The person submitting the panel (even in the case of co-organizers) will be the ‘corresponding panel organizer’ and will be responsible for communicating with the other co-organizers and panel participants.
New deadline for panel proposals: 28 October, 2024
Kind regards,
Organizing Committee of the 10th STS Italia Conference
