>
>SYMPOSIUM ON TECHNOLOGY, KNOWLEDGE AND SOCIETY
>McGill University, Montréal, Canada 9-10 June 2006
>
http://www.Technology-Conference.com>
>The symposium will take a broad and cross-disciplinary approach to
>technology in society. Participants will include researchers, teachers and
>practitioners whose interests are either technical or humanistic, or whose
>work crosses over between the applied technological and social sciences.
>
>A special theme of this symposium will be the complex relations between
>Technology and Citizenship. Technology is deeply implicated in the
>organisation and distribution of social, political and economic power.
>Technological artefacts, systems and practices arise from particular
>historical situations, and they condition subsequent social, political and
>economic identities, practices and relationships. In short,
>technology—industrial technology, transportation technology, information
>and communication technology, learning technology, bio and genetic
>technology, nanotechnology, etc.-is a matter in which citizenship is at
>stake. This symposium is dedicated to exploring the various ways in which
>technology and citizenship bear upon each other historically, and in the
>present context.
>
>We would particularly like to invite you to respond to the symposium call
>for papers. The symposium will also include numerous paper, workshop and
>colloquium presentations. Papers submitted by participants will be
>peer-refereed and published, if accepted by the referees, in print and
>electronic formats in the International Journal of Technology, Knowledge
>and Society. If you are unable to attend the symposium in person, virtual
>registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for
>refereeing and possible publication in this fully refereed academic
>journal, as well as access to the electronic version of the journal
>(including all historical material). The deadline for the first round of
>the call for papers is 15 JANUARY 2006. Proposals are reviewed within four
>weeks of submission.
>
>Full details of the symposium, including an online call for papers form,
