CALL FOR PAPERS

The Seventeenth International Conference on Technology, Knowledge, and Society
will be held at University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia, 8-9 April, 2021. We invite proposals for paper presentations, workshops/interactive sessions, posters/exhibits, virtual lightning talks, virtual posters, or colloquia addressing one of the following themes:

Theme 1: Histories of Technology
Theme 2: Knowledge Makers
Theme 3: Social Realities

2021 SPECIAL FOCUS: Considering Viral Technologies: Pandemic-Driven Opportunities and Challenges

REIMAGINING THE SCHOLARLY CONFERENCE
We are trying to move away from the either/or of place-based or online conferences. For whichever way you choose to participate, we will offer a blended conference experience. You do not need to commit either to a place-based or virtual presentation at the time of submission. You can present both ways, or change your mode of the presentation if your preferences change. The choice to participate virtually could also be a moral decision – for the planet, for security, or when the financial burden of travel is too great. We aim to foster spaces that align with principles of social justice and community development.
We also want to be ready for the possibility of place-based postponement due to COVID-19. If we are forced to postpone, the online engagement will still go ahead, and your registration will allow you to join the conference in person in a later year.
This way we build for our Research Network Members flexible, and at the same time resilient, spaces for communication, engagement, and participation.

CONFERENCE SUBMISSION DEADLINES

The next proposal deadline is 8 September 2020. We welcome the submission of presentation proposals at any time of the year up until 30 days before the start of the conference. All proposals will be reviewed within two to four weeks of submission.
