Conference at Al Al-Bayt University, 8-9 April 2025 

Languages in the Digital World

As part of this conference, several discussion topics will be open to contributors. The following list is not exhaustive, but its main axes will allow for the identification of assessments, the evaluation of ongoing data, and the outlining of perspectives for the future. 

In order to provide the broadest possible picture of the multiple dimensions of the interaction between living languages and the digital world, the debates will focus on these areas, which present as many opportunities as challenges for our societies.

We invite proposals for contributions to an edited volume exploring the interfaces between laughter and medicine. Developing from a British Academy/Wellcome Trust-funded conference held at the University of Birmingham in November 2024, this volume will put the medical humanities in dialogue with healthcare provision and the medical sciences so as to bridge the divides between the clinic, the laboratory, cultural history, literature, and the arts in Western cultures from the classical period to the present day. 

4S Open Panel: What Can a Conference Panel Do?

updated: 
Thursday, January 2, 2025 - 7:46pm
Society for Social Studies of Science
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, January 31, 2025

A conference reverberates. Sometimes as an echo chamber, things recapitulated. But a conference is also an unruly density—a format for waves of circulation, a temporary structuring of materials and hunches, nerves and notebooks, modes of listening or distraction. A conference is an ordinary nesting of interiors that shapes how thought resonates (the ways we transduce and echo each other, how an idea resounds or fails). STS is attentive to matters of knowledge work in labs and fieldsites: objects, networks, technics. But sometimes it forgets the mundane, the felt, what is improvised or patched together in scenes of knowing. After all, a panel is a fifteen-minute interval that consolidates and performs all the hard work of living that precedes.

The Beyond Trauma Conference   

For sign-up forms, consult: https://beyondtrauma.yolasite.com/ 

 

The Beyond Trauma Conference (June 9, 10, & 11, 2025; Nice, France) aims to gather an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars to share their research (ethnographies, theories, and clinical practice) on post-traumatic states from resistance and resilience to retribution and growth. More specifically, we propose to focus less on trauma and PTSD and more on modes of healing that so often involve the arts for trauma survivors.

Eco-Futures: A Companion

deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, January 1, 2025

Eco-environmental criticism has now become a staple presence in the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary landscape, calling for ongoing reflections on the human impact on the environment. A distinct aspect of these conversations has been the growing focus on the concern of ecological destruction for the planet, with all the inevitable consequences that this entails.  Within changing contexts that feel increasingly more precarious, conceptualisations of the ‘eco-futures’ have become central to our cultural discourses,  from film to television series, from literature to comics, from animation and video games to digital narratives, from architecture to design, from socio-ecology to animal studies.
