A variety of very interesting abstracts have already been submitted, and the meeting promises to be very stimulating one. There is still time to get yours in and be a part of the 2010 Forum on Philosophy, Engineering & Technology to be held 9-10 May 2010 at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO.
The final date to submit an abstract is one week from today, Friday, 15 January 2010. Short text-only abstracts are all that is required. Go to the submissions page and use the Linklings system to submit your abstract today. The extended call for papers is available here.
This year’s European Association for the Study of Science and Technology conference will include a track on Engineering Practice co-chaired by Sarah Bell (UCL) and Darryl Farber (Penn State). The conference is to be held 2-4 September 2010 in Trento, Italy.
The aim of the track is to bring together researchers working on the social, political and philosophical dimensions of engineering. We welcome papers on topics such as:
- ethnography of engineering practice
- the relationship between engineering and policy
- social studies of engineering knowledge
- reflections from practicing engineers and engineering researchers
- public engagement with engineering
- incorporating contextual considerations into engineering education
- gender and diversity in engineering
- theoretical contributions from science and technology studies to the understanding of engineering knowledge and practice.
Abstracts of no more than 500 words should be submitted by 15 March, following the instructions on the conference website: http://events.unitn.it/en/easst010. Further details about track can be found here.
The track is sponsored by the Committee for Philosophy, Engineering, and Technology: http://philengtech.org/.
fPET-2010 steering committee member Domenico Grasso has a new book, Holistic Engineering: Beyond Technology, that may interest followers of this web site. More information is available at the post here for those interested.
A number of potential contributors have inquired regarding the possibility of an extension of the abstract submission deadline (28 December 2009) for the 2010 Forum on Philosophy, Engineering & Technology (to be held 9-10 May 2010, Sunday evening to Monday, at the Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO).
Given the holiday season, and after a careful review of the review process and calendar, the abstract submission deadline has been pushed back until 15 January 2010 (Friday). All abstracts must be received on the submissions site (here) by the close of business on that date.
An extended call for papers is available here or as downloadable PDF file (here). Inquires about fPET-2010 can be sent to co-chairs Diane Michelfelder or Dave Goldberg.
