  • Technology in Modern East Asia Workshop

    Needham Research Institute

    Cambridge (UK), May 19-20, 2016.

    We are pleased to invite applications for the 2016 edition of the Technology in Modern East Asia Workshop which will take place at the Needham Research Institute in Cambridge (UK), May 19-20, 2016.

    The aim of the workshop is to assist in bringing to fruition new research on the role of technology in the history of East Asia since 1800.

    Envisioned as a mentoring and development event, it brings together early career and established scholars for detailed discussion of work in progress. The purpose of this intensive feedback on pre-circulated work is to shorten the time from draft to print for promising research articles.

    Our definition of technology is intentionally broad, and includes work that sheds light on diverse aspects of technology in history of modern East Asia.

    Previous mentors include: Francesca Bray (University of Edinburgh, UK), Barbara Hahn (Technology and Culture/Texas Tech, US), Liliane Hilaire-Pérez (EHESS, France), John Krige (Georgia Tech, US), Dagmar Schäfer (MPIGW, Germany), Lucy Rhymer (Cambridge University Press), Togo Tsukahara (University of Kobe, Japan), David Wittner (Utica College, US)

    The workshop is generously supported by the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT), the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPGW), the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the Needham Research Institute.

    All selected applicants will be provided with accommodation and meals during the workshop. As limited support is available for travel, however, we strongly encourage candidates to seek travel funding from their home institution.

    Interested applicants are asked to submit a short CV and an article abstract (maximum 750 words). In order to assess the significance of their work, we encourage applicants to situate their article within broader disciplinary debates.

    • Call for Papers for a Prometheans/WITH Joint Workshop, to be held on the Sunday of the Singapore SHOT Annual Meeting, June 26, 2016 - deadline for proposals, February 22 2016 Two SHOT Special Interest Groups (SIGs) - WITH and the Prometheans - invite people to submit abstracts for possible presentations at a joint SIG workshop on Gender, Geographies, Engineering and Technical Work, to be held Sunday afternoon, June 26, 2016 in Singapore. The theme is: "Who Claims Technical Knowledge?: Gender, Geographies, Engineering, and Technical Work." The organizers and contact people are Amy Bix (Iowa State University, abix@iastate.edu) and Ann Johnson (Cornell University, aj532@cornell.edu) On Sunday afternoon, June 26, 2016, as part of SHOT's annual meeting in Singapore, two SHOT Special Interest Groups, WITH and the Prometheans, plan to hold a unique joint workshop to focus on gender as a dimension in the history and culture of engineering and technical work, across different periods and geographic locations. WITH (Women In Technological History) is the SHOT SIG that seeks to promote gender analysis within history of technology; Prometheans are the SIG interested in historical studies of engineering and its professional communities. Across history, different societies have adopted varying frameworks for masculinity, femininity, gender, and work. From pre-industrial societies in Asia, Europe, or elsewhere, through modernization, to today's high-tech globalized economy, gender has always remained a factor in engineering, in the production of goods and services, in performance of household tasks, and in the structure of business, government, and society. While formal rules of employment and unwritten norms might seek to determine who could or could not claim different types of technical knowledge, men and women often stretched, challenged, or changed such codes. For this workshop, we seek research papers that explore connections between gender/women's studies and the history of technology and engineering, all broadly defined. We invite proposals in areas including (but not limited to): * Studies of gender and engineering in different times and places; histories of women engineers, of masculinity/femininity and engineering culture, etc.; * Studies of gender, the technical professions, and technical work in different times and places- women, men, and employment in various industries and businesses; * Studies of gender and technical knowledge - how information, expertise, and education have been linked to masculinity, femininity, or gender across different times and places; * Links from gender analysis to broader discussions of diversity, engineering, and technical knowledge, across different times and places; * Studies of gender and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education at all levels and in all aspects, including educational structure, teaching, pedagogy, student experience, identity formation, etc.; To propose a paper to be considered for this workshop, please send a one-page abstract (in .pdf format - maximum 500 words), plus a one-page short CV (in .pdf format) with current contact information, to both Amy Bix (abix@iastate.edu) and Ann Johnson (aj532@cornell.edu). The deadline for submission is February 22, 2016. Proposals will be evaluated for inclusion based on quality of scholarship, clarity, and relevance to workshop themes. People are welcome to propose a paper for the joint Prometheans/WITH Singapore session, even if they have also already submitted a proposal for a different paper for the main SHOT program, and will be allowed to present both if accepted.

    • 1st Call for Papers The 8th Tensions of Europe Conference Athens, 7-10 September 2017 Conference Theme: Borders and Technology The 8th Tensions of Europe Conference will have as its main theme the history of borders and technology. We invite papers studying the history of the relationship between national borders and transnational infrastructures, hidden technological linking and delinking that reinforced or challenged border delineations and demarcations, the relationship between borders and technologically-induced environmental crises and disasters, the virtualization of borders and the territories that they contain through the use of electronic and related technologies, geopolitics and technology, the redefinition of borders due to the use of technology (and vice versa), all the way from the production to the circulation and use of goods and commodities. One central aim is to cross-fertilize between disciplines and we therefore invite contributions from a wide variety of historical disciplines as well as fromfields like Migration and Border Studies, Migration History, Mobility History, etc, especially in connection to borders and migrations from, to and within Europe. Themes that fall under the general agenda of the Tensions of Europe network are very welcomed (e.g. transnational histories of technology, history of European infrastructures and networks, environment and technology, the democracy-technology relationship, conflicting interests and technology, technology and hidden integration, technology and culture, gender and technology, technology and ethnicity, technology and disability). Tensions of Europe has a long tradition of fostering alternative meeting formats. We encourage proposals for non-traditional sessions with different formats and new ideas (e.g. round tables, agenda-building sessions, brainstorm sessions, break-out groups with assignments, poster discussion, film discussion, event-based sessions). As long as quality can be demonstrated, the program committee will not prioritize between formats. By quality we mean suggestions that promise constructive, stimulating and engaging discussion. We invite scholars from all relevant fields to submit proposal to: 8toe2017@phs.uoa.gr by 15 February 2017 All proposals should include a title, short abstract, the academic title and affiliation of the applicant(s) and a short bio. Please name your file with your surname. Abstracts for individual papers and posters should be no more than 300 words. For panels, we ask for a description of the theme of the panel (max 300 words) together with shorter abstracts (max 150 words) of the individual papers. If you wish to suggest a presentation of a different format, please use these word limits as guidelines. We will inform applicants by April 1st 2017 whether their contribution has been accepted. A second call for papers with information about keynote speakers will be distributed by the end of 2016. Conference website: http://8toe2017.phs.uoa.gr/ Welcome to Athens in September 2017!
