Call for Abstracts
I am pleased to announce the Call for Abstracts for the panel “Interventive
Futuring within STS: Anticipatory Approaches, Methods, and Practices for
Promoting 'Good' Science, Technology, and Innovation” to be held at the 10th
STS Italia Conference—“Technoscience for Good: Designing, Caring and
Reconfiguring”—which will take place on 11–13 June 2025 at the
Politecnico di Milano, Milan (Italy).
The panel invites contributions—whether theoretical, empirical, or
practical—that explore, critique, or reassess the potentials and limitations
of foresight and futuring methods as they are designed and mobilized to
promote ‘better’ or ‘good’ science, technology, and innovation (STI).
In addition to traditional paper presentations, proposals for experimental
showcases aimed at testing or demonstrating futuring practices designed to
enhance the governance of STI are welcomed.
Key questions for consideration include:
Which spaces for reflexivity and critique are being opened and foreclosed by
futuring designs and practices?
How can these methods foster a more inclusive approach to STI governance?
What are the ethical, political and epistemological challenges associated with
deploying anticipatory dynamics in STI settings?
To what extent do these practices enable or constrain the involvement of
marginalized groups in the co-production of STI?
What transformations do (or do not) futuring exercises enable or inhibit?
How does STS position itself within the politics ‘of’ and ‘by’
anticipations through futuring interventions?
