The Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory
(HASTAC), in partnership with Pratt Institute, invites submissions for an
upcoming conference at the intersection of thinking, making, and justice
work. The conference is planned as an in-person experience, with some
opportunities for online participation.
HASTAC 2023 welcomes submissions from practitioners at all stages of their
careers; from all disciplines, occupations, and fields; and from groups as
well as individuals, including independent scholar-practitioners, artists,
and activists.
Commensurate with the broad theme of “Critical Making and Social Justice,”
we seek proposals for a wide range of papers, posters, workshops,
roundtables, exhibits, etc. related to such topics as:
• art and activism, and their relationship to scholarship
• interventions in design justice, data justice and data feminism,
algorithmic accountability, (digital) literacies, open knowledge, and
accessibility in all its forms
• community-based projects and learning, participatory research and design
• praxis, as the enactment of theory, and socially-engaged learning
• critical uses and non-uses of technology, including resistance to
technology, creative misuses, subversions, etc.
• creative, educational, and social implications of emerging technologies,
including robotics, automation, rapid prototyping, wearables, “smart”
devices, and extended reality (augmented reality / virtual reality / mixed
reality)
• craft and other forms of making that support justice work
• research and teaching that reflects emerging conversations on racism,
capitalism, sexism, gender bias, ableism, nationalism, colonialism, and
their many intersections with humanities, arts, design, (social) sciences,
and technology
• progressive pedagogy and educational engagements with issues of social
justice
• work undertaken by, with, and for the Lenape people and other Indigenous
peoples
• sustainability and environmental justice in projects, pedagogy, design,
and other areas
• public humanities and the evolution of public discourse and media
The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2022. For further details and
