Call for Papers


‘Innovative Academic Infrastructures: Digitalization, Collaboration, and
Experimentation’



Annual meeting of the society for social studies of science (4S
<https://www.4s2019.org/>) in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 4-7.


Deadline: February 1st 2019


Dear colleagues,

Our panel aims to bring together scholars experimenting with innovative
academic infrastructures in the form of digital scholarship and alternative
research spaces inside and outside the university. The panel seeks to map
novel configurations of knowledge production and distribution through
different writing genres, media technologies, data sharing and archiving
platforms, funding models, hiring and recruitment processes, publishing
initiatives, and collaborative research projects. We are particularly
interested in explorations and interventions that transcend or complicate
both intellectual extractivism and the perpetuation of academic peripheries
in post-colonial settings. We also welcome papers that critically examine o
the creation and reproduction of unequal epistemological geographies or
those that explore the increasing use of scholarly metrics for career
evaluation and job placement. We hope to spark an optimist and honest
conversation about diverse academic futures in view of the ongoing
corporatization and precarization of Higher-Ed in the global North and the
longstanding patron-client bureaucratization of academia in the global
South. This panel invites both empirical investigations and policy
initiatives that allow us to develop transnational and comparative
approaches to the study of academic infrastructures and human capacity
building. The panel’s goal is to map ways in which scholars across life
cycles and regions have been able to open up spaces for new academic
materialities, opportunities, practices, and possibilities.
