POTENTIAL TOPICS
It is not necessary to be familiar with the concept of undone science (Frickel et al. 2009) in order to contribute. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Areas of research in computer science meeting challenges that will require or have required shifts in viewpoint; conditions responsible for certain kinds of research being over- or under-represented; reasons for a set of questions being neglected in an area.
-
Epistemological questions and challenges, for instance arising from the interdisciplinary nature of computer science, or dealing with the articulations between theory and practice; investigations on the values of computer science.
-
How social movements or civil society organisations (e.g. free software movement) play a role in identifying areas of research being left aside, in providing new research questions, or on the contrary in demanding that some kind of research remains undone.
-
Challenges of integrating ethical and political questioning regarding social, economic, and environmental consequences of our work into the process of making good science. Concrete examples of questions stemming from ethical consideration being introduced to a domain (why/how), are welcome.
-
How ethics codes (including for instance the ACM Code of Ethics) can be leveraged (or fail) to present some questions as being worthy of exploration; more broadly how guiding principles can be put in place to enrich the research practices in an area.
-
Explorations of the influence of publishing practices within our community, and of popular research methodology and scientific writing guides provided within our fields, on the selection, execution, and dissemination of research.
-
Examinations of biases and limitations present in commonly-used educational curricula (for instance leading to or stemming from a lack of diversity, be it social or methodological).
- More generally, any discussion of systematic non-production or non-dissemination of knowledge in a broad sense, whether in computer science in general or a specific area, whether past or present; whether due to limitations of available methodologies, blind spots of dominant paradigms, institutional and industrial biases, lack of social representation, or other factors.
We look forward to receiving your abstracts, and to an engaging and thought-provoking conference.
Sincerely, the organisers
