[Commlist] CFP: 'Governing Technologies' online workshop

Preeti Raghunath likes to share details of this proposed workshop being 
organised by the School of Arts and Social Sciences, Monash University, 
Malaysia and Nottingham University, Malaysia. Titled *'Governing 
Technologies: Exploring datafied practices, imaginaries, and digital 
state assemblages in Asia'*, the workshop aims to problematise past and 
current socio-technical imaginaries and datafication practices of the 
rapidly digitising nation-states in Asia, and gather critical analyses 
of where the digital, government, and power intersect: Who are the 
(human and non-human) actors propelling these initiatives and new 
arrangements? What do their discourses around these imaginaries reveal 
about their ambitions, interests, and conflicts? What role do 
communities and the people play in shaping, adapting, and resisting 
digital plans and practices, and who decides? We seek to bring together 
scholars interested in unravelling these politics and practices of the 
digital in an online workshop, in *October 2022*.

We invite exchanges on empirical and conceptual contributions from 
multiple disciplines that critically examine current arrangements of 
digital technologies, societies, and/or states in Asia. Secondly, we 
also would like to make this an opportunity to establish research 
networks and discuss possible future research collaborations across the 
region and concurrent disciplines. This could, for example, take the 
form of a planned special issue in an academic journal or plans for 
collaborative and transdisciplinary research projects.

Please note, the deadline has been extended to* June 15, 2022*.
