Call for papers: 

 

"Mobility, the City and STS" workshop

 

Technical University Denmark, Copenhagen

November 20-22, 2008

 

The aim of this workshop is to bring together social scientists and other
researchers to present and discuss empirical or theoretical work about the
relationships between mobility and society from one particular perspective:
Science and Technology Studies (STS). In the last two decades STS has grown
from being a discipline mainly focused on scientific practice and places to
develop a general interest in the interconnections between science,
technology and society in an increasing number of highly diverse places.
Especially through the development of constructivist and Actor-Network
approaches, STS offers a very sophisticated array of theoretical concepts
and methodological tools to study contemporary societies. In this workshop
the general idea is to present work that apply these concepts and tools to
the analysis of the role of mobility in contemporary societies through the
presentation of specific case-studies. The papers presented are planned to
be compiled, edited and published as a book or a special issue of a
relevant, peer-reviewed, journal.

 

Abstract deadline August 31 2008.

 

For further information on the workshop see the attached CFP.
