April 22, 2008 @ Arizona State University

 

This research conference, “Whose Nanotechnology? Perspectives of Researchers From Underrepresented Populations,” will bring together undergraduate and graduate researchers (and their mentors) from across the country who are contributing perspectives on nanotechnology that are not (yet) part of the dominant dialogue, the conference will begin to create a network whose purpose is steering these converging technologies toward more representative and more just outcomes. Abstracts for research papers to be presented which address one or both of the above two general categories will be accepted and notifications will be made on a rolling basis with a final deadline for electronic submission of abstracts of February 15, 2008 and final notifications by February 28, 2008.

Science & Technology in Society: An International,
Interdisciplinary, Graduate Student Conference.

 

When: April 5-6, 2008

 

Where: American Association for the Advancement of Science Headquarters, Washington, DC

 

Abstract Deadline: January 4, 2008

 

This annual conference provides a venue for graduate students from Science & Technology Policy, Science & Technology Studies, Environmental Policy/Studies and related fields to present and receive constructive feedback on their research. The agenda for last year's conference provides examples of common themes and topics that may be covered this year. In addition to presenting papers, students will have the opportunity to interact with each other and prominent scholars and professionals related to their field of interest. Every year we invite prominent figures from both S&T Policy and STS to deliver keynote addresses. Because we draw participants from all over the world, this conference is an excellent opportunity for young scholars aspiring to work in academic, governmental, or non-governmental settings to build both national and international networks for future research and collaborations.

 

The conference organizing committee welcomes submissions of abstracts (up to 250 words) for a 15-minute presentation. Please submit abstracts and contact information via email to STabstract@gmail.com by January 4, 2008. Notification of abstract acceptance will be given no later than February 11, 2008.
