by Thao Phan 10 Feb '19

10 Feb '19

Keynotes for the AusSTS Interdisciplinary Workshop have now been confirmed! We're excited to welcome: *Cordelia Fine,* University of Melbourne *Geoffrey Bowker,* University of California Irvine We can now also confirm that we have bursaries of up to $300 per person. See call for abstracts below for details on how to apply. Workshop applications close March 1, 2019. Please feel free to share through your networks. --- *CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: AusSTS Interdisciplinary Workshop* Deakin University Melbourne, Australia 3-5 July, 2019 *Keynotes: * Cordelia Fine, University of Melbourne; Geoffrey Bowker, University of California Irvine To meet the great challenges of this century, scientists and humanities and social science researchers need to work together. No single academic field can bring about the changes we need to see in the world. Bridging disciplinary divides is the key to finding new solutions to the problems we face. The AusSTS interdisciplinary workshop is a multi-day event that seeks to convene conversations between researchers around the complex issues facing science, technology and society today. It consists of workshops, keynote lectures, creative events, and short papers. This symposium is designed for postgraduate students and ECRs researching science and technology and who are interested in 1) exploring new and creative forms of inquiry, 2) developing collaborative practices to further their research. The aim of this collaboration is not to turn scientists into social scientists or humanities scholars or vice versa. Rather, it is to create opportunities for students to share diverse perspectives on common issues. This workshop departs from the traditional symposia format of long papers and short discussion. Participants can expect to present a short paper consisting of a question, problem or provocation, take part in panel discussions and cross-disciplinary dialogues, participate in workshops focusing on collaboration and creative research, as well as field trips. We invite postgraduate students and ECRs from all disciplines and areas of expertise to apply: life, environmental and materials science, social sciences and humanities, artists, social activists, and other practitioners. We want to encourage participants to communicate their research interests in ways that are legible to audiences outside of their discipline and to engage in sustained discussions with a range of publics. Scholars interested in participating are asked to apply by putting forward a proposal for a 5-minute presentation at the workshop. Possible topics for proposals can include but are not limited to: - The Anthropocene and twenty-first century environmental challenges - Advances in biomedicine and public health - Science and Indigenous knowledges - AI, big data and algorithmic cultures - Sustainability and resilience - Intersections with gender, race, class and ability with issues in science and technology - Methods and strategies for collaborative STS (science and technology studies) or HPS (History and Philosophy of Science) *Structure, cost, and accessibility* The AusSTS interdisciplinary workshop will take place over three days. Day one and two will be organised around panel presentations, keynotes, and collaboration workshops. Day three will include an off-site field trip and creative challenge. All venues will be wheelchair accessible. Please do not hesitate to get in contact if you have any questions regarding accessibility or have accessibility needs. *Travel bursaries* We are committed to making this event affordable and accessible to all participants. We have travel bursaries of up to $300 per person to help cover travel and accommodation costs. To apply for a bursary, *please include a 200 word statement* explaining why this support is necessary for you to attend in your application for the workshop. Bursaries will be assessed based on an equity basis. *Submission guidelines:* Please submit proposals (250-350 words) for presentations by Friday March 1 to AuSTSgradnetwork(a)gmail.com <AuSTSgradnetwork(a)gmail.com> Proposals must contain the following information: Name of presenter(s); email address; brief bio; five keywords; supervisor names (if applicable) / areas of discipline This event is hosted by the Australasian STS Graduate Network (AusSTS), a network of Australasian postgraduate and early career researchers interested in STS. Masters, PhD and ECRs from any institution and discipline are invited to apply.

CFP “Visual, digital and media culture: Images among generations”
by Inês Amaral 09 Feb '19

09 Feb '19

[With apologies for cross-posting] *CALL FOR PAPERS - vista - visual culture journal* *“Visual, digital and media culture: Images among generations”* Social context determined by the culture of media convergence, together with the proliferation of digital devices connected to the Internet and their penetration among citizens, has given relevance, more than ever, to the media and visual culture. Digital media and images have conducted visual field towards the study of consumer´s practices and producer´s image, in accordance with the social aspects and the cultural contexts that characterize them. To the multidisciplinary approach of media and digital literacy, intergenerational issue is added as the starting point of this issue, which seeks to delve into the fact that the media experience occurs in differentiated conditions, characterized by different cultural (media and digital) competences between generations: analogical and digital citizens, emigrants and digital natives. From the family portraits to the selfies of our smartphones, from soap opera and TV series to social networks. Images produced and consumed get increased from a diversity of experiences and memories, from a multiplicity of lifestyles and media uses, which is worth to be rethought from the idea of "generations". Which are the visual environments of socialization for the different generations? What influences do they exercise in their daily lives, in their experience, and in their memory? What is the role of visual and media literacy in the process of understanding the relationship between different generations and the different media? How visual culture contributes to the pedagogical processes? Does the generational perspective contribute for the understanding of the image transformation and impact in contemporaneity? Is the visual culture an approaching element among generations? Which are the more suited proposals and theoretical reflections in the current context? Is the visual culture an inspiring element to favor participative methodologies in this field? Can digital age and its visual culture favor generational barriers? Does the digital visual culture assume an intergenerational perspective? *vista - visual culture journal *is a peer-reviewed journal and operates under a double-blind review process. Each submitted work will be sent to two reviewers previously invited to evaluate it, in accordance with the academic quality, originality and relevance for the objectives and scope of the issue of this edition of the journal. Articles can be submitted in English, Portuguese, Spanish and French to the e-mails of the invited editors: apepanda(a)gmail.com; britesmariajose@gmail.com;inesamaral@gmail.com.
