The Humanities and Technology Association is an interdisciplinary scholarly society that explores the impact of technology on human life from a broad range of perspectives. We welcome papers that investigate the cultural interaction of the humanities, science, engineering, and technology.
Please submit an abstract (approximately 500 words) by 30 June 2012 to Dr. George Sochan ([email protected]) and state for which track you are submitting your paper. (Also, include basic biographical information such as your affiliated institution and your position at this institution.)
Papers and panel suggestions will be arranged according to the following tracks:
Philosophical, political, and ethical dimensions: topics focused on how technology impacts the sense of being human; the environment; political participation and democratic governance; sustainability; power and global equality
Technology and social life: topics dealing with questions such as: does technology enable new/destroy old forms of social life; advance/hinder gender equality; raise/diminish standards of living and economic well-being; suggest/force human adaptations to technological environments?
Representations of technology: the manifold interactions of art and technology; aesthetic and artistic accounts of and reactions to the destruction of old/creation of new technologies
Technology and education: topics focused on the broader interface between technology and pedagogy; technology, education, and the classroom
