The Call for Papers (reminder)

"Reviewing humanness: bodies, technologies and spaces"

What is it to be human today? How are developments in science and
technology affecting the human experience? Developments in the life
sciences offer new ways of understanding and intervening in bodily
processes. Human influence is distributed through socio-technical
networks and artifacts. Transnational connections and imaginings extend
our conception of humanness. What concepts do we need to understand
these processes and to address their practical and political
consequences?

"Reviewing Humanness" forms the theme for biennial conference of the
European Association for the Study of Science and Technology, to be held
in Lausanne, Switzerland from 23rd to 26th August 2006. Paper and
session proposals addressing any aspect of the theme are welcomed. All
members of the science, technology and innovation studies community are
invited to attend and there will be open paper sessions for topics
outside of the theme.
