Proposed Symposium at SPT 2027 | 16–19 June 2027 | Beijing, China

The Political Philosophy of Technology and Engineering Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Society for Philosophy and Technology (SPT) is organizing a proposed symposium for the SPT 2027 conference, to be held in Beijing, China, on 16–19 June 2027.

Please note: The symposium is currently being developed for submission to the SPT 2027 organizing committee and is subject to acceptance through the conference's regular review process. The symposium's inclusion in the conference program is therefore not yet confirmed. If accepted, its precise date and time will be determined by the conference organizers.

The proposed symposium, Why Political Philosophy of Technology and Engineering? Concepts, Problems, Methods, aims to advance the development of political philosophy of technology and engineering as a distinct field of philosophical inquiry.

The SIG is issuing an open call for abstracts, from which contributions will be selected through a competitive review process for inclusion in the symposium proposal. detailed CFA can be found here: https://philevents.org/event/show/154941

Abstract submission deadline: 31 October 2027

Selection of an abstract for the symposium proposal does not guarantee participation in SPT 2027, which remains contingent upon acceptance of the full proposal by the conference organizers.
