The 8th STS Italia Conference <https://www.stsitaliaconf2020.com/> will
be hosted by the University of Trieste, Italy, June 18 through 20, 2020,
by the Italian Society of Science and Technology Studies.
The conference will be an opportunity to present empirical and
theoretical work from a variety of disciplines: sociology, anthropology,
design, economics, history, law, philosophy, psychology and semiotics.
The focal theme of the 8th STS Italia Conference will be "Dis/Entangling
Technoscience: Vulnerability, Responsibility and Justice”. This broad
theme refers to the complex and ambivalent role of technoscience and
innovation in constituting societies – making possibilities flourish,
but also creating new vulnerabilities.
The conference will include 33 tracks, which are clustered into five
thematic streams. The tracks focus on several topics, including:
biomedicine, digital platforms and media, work and organizations,
expertise and public policy, ethics of technology and innovation, and
governance of science and technology at large.
Conference’s keynote speakers include: *Amade M’charek* (University of
Amsterdam); *Dimitris Papadopoulos* (University of Nottingham) and *René
von Schomberg* (European Commission)
*Abstracts (written in English, or in Italian in case of tracks in two
language) should be submitted by February, 9* to the conference email
address ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>) and
to the emails of convenors' selected track. Track Convenor(s) will be
responsible for reviewing, accepting/rejecting and organising
submissions into their track.
