Dear colleagues, Please see the attached announcement and CFP for a workshop on STS, mining and extraction. Let me know if you have any questions! The deadline is fast approaching. Best, Roopali *CALL FOR PAPER PROPOSALS - PLEASE CIRCULATE* *STS Underground: Investigating the Technoscientific Worlds of Mining and Subterranean Extraction* A Three-Day Research Workshop February 5-7, 2017 Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO With keynote speaker Gabrielle Hecht, author of *Being Nuclear: Africans and the Global Uranium Trade* (MIT Press, 2012) This intensive three-day workshop aims to bring together interdisciplinary scholars whose work addresses technologies, practices, and forms of knowledge related to the mining of minerals, groundwater and fossil fuels. We seek papers that examine the technoscientific aspects of how questions about extraction are posed and deliberated, how extraction itself occurs, and how the consequences of such extraction are addressed. Twelve abstracts will be selected for the workshop, and authors will circulate their papers one month in advance. We encourage participation from graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty. The workshop will include a public keynote address, a field trip/excursion with mining and petroleum experts, and a panel discussion with invited guest scholars. We will also include informal opportunities to network with fellow participants. Participants will not present their papers. Rather, submitted papers will be workshopped in small groups with an assigned discussant. The initial deadline for submitting abstracts is September 15, 2016. Please send proposals (no more than one page for a single abstract) as a word or pdf document to [email protected] and [email protected]. Include full contact details (email, affiliation and address for contact). Notifications and initial program details will be sent out by November 1, 2016. See attached CFP for more details. -- Dr. Roopali Phadke Professor Environmental Studies Department Macalester College St. Paul, MN 55105 O: 651 696 6802 Email: [email protected] http://www.macalester.edu/environmentalstudies/facultystaff/roopaliphadke/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
