> Distributed Sites of Knowledge Production
>
> Papers are invited that expose the diversity of the sites of production of
> scientific knowledge. The process of knowledge production must not be
> identified with the efforts of an individual in an academic environment, which
> is then applied as technology. It is a more diffused practice involving the
> contributions of a number of sites simultaneously, where knowledge is produced
> and remains tacitly embedded like industrial R&D facilities, national
> laboratories, military supported research establishments, agricultural field
> stations, museums, courts and colonial expeditions. The symposium aims to
> compare and contrast the multiple spaces in which knowledge has been produced,
> circulated and transformed through the ages.
