[Commlist] Call for Applications: AusSTS 2023 Conference

Mon Mar 06 22:09:25 GMT 2023




*AusSTS 2023**
*
*Call for Applications Open*
*17 - 18th July, UNSW Sydney*

We are pleased to announce that the Call for Applications for AusSTS 2023 <https://aussts.wordpress.com/2023cfp/> is now open! We welcome participants _at all career stages_ to share research and other work via short presentations or in a workshop format with pre-circulated written pieces. These can be on any topic or in any area that we might loosely think about as constituting a ‘contribution’ to Science and Technology Studies (STS) thinking. Participants are also welcome to contribute to AusSTS 2023 as a non-presenting attendee.

*The AusSTS 2023 conference marks the first in a new alternating structure of AusSTS annual events. While the multi-sited and early-career focused workshop format of previous years will continue in 2024, this year (and every two years moving forward) we will hold a single AusSTS conference _welcoming attendees at all career stages _engaged in STS work across Australasia. This first AusSTS conference will be held in Sydney, Australia.*

AusSTS 2023 will feature a series of discussions about what it means to contribute to and with Australasian STS. Our opening keynote will be a conversation with *Dr Thao Phan* (Monash University) and *Professor Celia Roberts* (ANU) on “Contributing to and with Feminist Technoscience.” This will be followed by a panel discussion centred on the question “What is an Australasian STS Contribution?” with *Dr Courtney Addison* (Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington), *Dr Ash Watson* (UNSW), and *Associate Professor Thom van Dooren* (University of Sydney) /(more panel participants to be announced soon)/. The conference will also include a closing plenary bringing the various conference contributions into dialogue, as well as other opportunities for socialising and connection.

Please read below for details and share widely with your networks:

*Theme: “Contributing to and with STS”*
*Date: Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th July, 2023*
*Location: UNSW, Sydney*
*Applications due: Sunday 9 April 2023*

We invite scholars, writers, artists, and activists from any career stage to contribute to AusSTS 2023.  Please submit an application to participate via one of the following formats:

 1. *Submit an abstract for a short  (5 minute) presentation or
    provocation.* Sessions will consist of 4–5 presentations followed by
    group discussion.
 2. *Submit a proposal for a piece of written work* to be workshopped
    with AusSTS attendees. *Pieces of work can include papers or thought
    pieces (including works in progress), more speculative proposals of
    research, and other creative or non-traditional forms of translation
    and output. *Final submissions should be in a written format,
    between 1,000 and 3,000 words, and ready to be circulated amongst
    all attendees by 1 July 2023.*
 3. *Register interest as a non-presenting attendee.*

We welcome submissions from all disciplines and areas of expertise. We are interested in the many ways that scholars across Australasia are already engaged in the kinds of work and thinking we might consider a ‘contribution’ to and with STS.
