If your ethno­graph­ic project on care – com­plet­ed, ongo­ing or envi­sioned – involves exper­i­ment­ing with „look­ing” (and with sen­so­ry atten­tion more gen­er­al­ly), join us for this FREE IN-PERSON work­shop­ping at the Ethno­graph­ic Muse­um of Zurich on 15th March! This is part of the Regard Bleu Ethno­graph­ic Film Festival.

‘Car­ing for Images, Look­ing at Care’ – Explor­ing Images of Care
How do we see, doc­u­ment, and respect­ful­ly rep­re­sent acts of care that tend to be made invis­i­ble, despite their cen­tral role in the main­te­nance of healthy social rela­tions, and indeed of soci­ety at large? This work­shop pro­pos­es to explore the space of care, a space cen­tral­ly relat­ed to human vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty and depen­dence, and to focus on the inter­sec­tion of care in its broad­est sense with “images, vision and visu­al­i­ty” (Pieta and Sokolovsky 2021). Inspired by the work of and framed around a con­ver­sa­tion with Bar­bara Pietà and Pao­lo Favero, the two founders of the ‘Images of Care Col­lec­tive’, this work­shop is an invi­ta­tion to think col­lec­tive­ly about how mul­ti­modal­i­ty — whether pho­tographs, film, or oth­er audio­vi­su­al media — can help us access, doc­u­ment, and under­stand acts of care that are often over­looked. How can mul­ti­modal approach­es chal­lenge exist­ing rep­re­sen­ta­tions of care and help us reimag­ine the ways we engage with vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty and pow­er in care relations?

This tar­get­ed, hands-on work­shop will engage with select­ed ear­ly-career researchers’ work on care and help them devel­op their projects. If you have a project (con­clud­ed or ongo­ing) that address­es (some of) the ques­tions raised above, we would love to read more about it! To join us for the work­shop, hand in your pro­pos­al through the appli­ca­tion form. This is a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to share your thoughts and expe­ri­ences and get con­struc­tive feed­back from experts and peers.

It is more than just a con­fer­ence: it’s a rich place to trade ideas, meth­ods, and prac­ti­cal solu­tions, as well as enter the life­world of oth­er pro­fes­sion­als. SfAA mem­bers come from a vari­ety of dis­ci­plines — anthro­pol­o­gy, soci­ol­o­gy, eco­nom­ics, busi­ness, plan­ning, med­i­cine, nurs­ing, law, and oth­er relat­ed social/behavioral sci­ences.

10th Inte­grat­ed His­to­ry and Phi­los­o­phy of Sci­ence conference
27–29 March 2025
Cal­i­for­nia Insti­tute of Tech­nol­o­gy, Pasade­na, California

The Com­mit­tee for Inte­grat­ed His­to­ry and Phi­los­o­phy of Sci­ence invites the sub­mis­sion of abstracts for indi­vid­ual papers and “light­ning talks” for &HPS10, the 10th con­fer­ence in the series Inte­grat­ed His­to­ry and Phi­los­o­phy of Sci­ence. We seek con­tri­bu­tions that gen­uine­ly inte­grate his­tor­i­cal and philo­soph­i­cal analy­ses of sci­ence (i.e., the phys­i­cal sci­ences, life sci­ences, cog­ni­tive sci­ences, and social sci­ences) or that dis­cuss method­olog­i­cal issues sur­round­ing the prospects and chal­lenges of inte­grat­ing his­to­ry and phi­los­o­phy of sci­ence. For infor­ma­tion about the Com­mit­tee for Inte­grat­ed His­to­ry and Phi­los­o­phy of Sci­ence and pre­vi­ous con­fer­ences, see http://integratedhps.org/.

Keynote speak­ers: Lydia Pat­ton (Vir­ginia Tech), Mar­ius Stan (Boston College)

Please note that &HPS10 does not run par­al­lel ses­sions and, giv­en the num­ber of slots avail­able, does not accept sym­po­sium sub­mis­sions. In addi­tion to con­tributed papers (20 min­utes + 10 min­utes of ques­tions), &HPS10 will also fea­ture a com­bi­na­tion of 10-minute light­ning talks fol­lowed by a com­mu­nal ses­sion with ‘dis­cus­sion sta­tions’ for the light­ning talk pre­sen­ters. For this forum, we wel­come sub­mis­sions that are more explorato­ry, works in progress, try out new ideas, and so on. Each pre­sen­ter may appear on the final pro­gram only once.

All pro­pos­als (whether for a con­tributed paper or light­ning talk) should con­tain a title and an abstract of up to 700 words (includ­ing references). 

Please sub­mit your abstracts to https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/75646/submitter

We have an ongo­ing com­mit­ment to fos­ter­ing diver­si­ty and equal­i­ty in our pro­grams. Sub­mis­sions from mem­bers of under­rep­re­sent­ed groups are par­tic­u­lar­ly welcome!

Dead­line for abstract sub­mis­sions: 11:59 pm Any­where on Earth (UTC ‑12) 18 August. Noti­fi­ca­tion date: 31 Octo­ber, 2024.
