Subject: Call for Papers for Project Management Conference at DHSI, June 6, 2020
In cooperation with the Digital Humanities Summer Institute, a conference on
Project Management will be held on June 6, 2020.
Project management is a tool that has long been associated with business. Its
use in the academy is increasing as projects grow beyond the scope of a single
researcher. Funding agencies are encouraging this trend by requesting detailed
and realistic work plans as part of grant applications. However, challenges
exist for the application of project management to research projects. For
example, research goals may be articulated but the methodology to accomplish
them is not well understood. This is further complicated by the fact that
researchers see the application of these tools as rigid management approaches,
perhaps not suited for the academy.
Having said this, due to increasingly collaborative interdisciplinary projects,
many humanities scholars find themselves as âinstantâ or âaccidentalâ
managers. They are leading teams of researchers from a variety of disciplines,
research assistants, librarians and others as well as managing financial and
other resources. This is something for which they are often not prepared due to
a lack of training in this area.
This raises questions for exploration with regard to the application of project
management in the humanities generally and digital humanities more specifically.
These include
--What does project management look like in the humanities and digital
humanities?
--What skills and knowledge are needed?
--What is the best way to engage and train researchers in the use of these
tools and skills?
--What tools are the most effective for managing projects within the
humanities and digital humanities?
--What particular challenges do academics face using the project
management?
--What can be learned from the review of the use of project management in
other contexts, such as libraries?
--How can students be managed within a project management framework?
We invite proposals for lightning papers that address these and other issues
pertinent to research in the area. Proposals should contain a title, an
abstract (of approximately 250 words, plus list of works cited), and names and
affiliations. Longer papers for lightning talks will be solicited after
proposal acceptance for circulation in advance of the gathering. Please send
proposals on or before January 1, 2020 to
siemensl@uvic.ca.

From: Wulf Loh
Subject: CfA Workshop “Social Robotics and the Good Life"
Call for Abstracts: Workshop “Social Robotics and the Good Life – The
Normative Side of Forming Emotional Bonds with Robots”
Organizers: International Center for Ethics in the Sciences and
Humanities, University of Tübingen (Regina Ammicht Quinn and Wulf Loh,
both Tübingen, in cooperation with Janina Loh, Vienna, and Charles Ess,
Oslo)
Date: May 7-8, 2020
Venue:IZEW Tübingen, Germany
Social robotics has the strong potential of becoming more and more
prevalent in the coming years, especially in the realms of elder day
care, child rearing, and education. As human beings have the fascinating
ability to emotionally bond not exclusively with other human beings, but
also with animals, plants, and objects, it is highly likely that
human-machine-relationships will arise from these
human-robotic-interactions. While children and the elderly constitute
vulnerable groups that merit special consideration, at the heart of the
issue lie fundamental ethical questions that concern
human-robot-interactions /per se/. Do human-robot-relationships
necessarily constitute a form of manipulation, since any form of
reciprocity on the side of the robot is merely simulated? Are these
relationships then /per se/ detrimental to the good life, as they
replace “real” relationships? What constitutes such a “real”
relationship? Are more intimate relationships with robots, such as
friendship or even love, possible and ethically sound? Which design cues
does an ethical design of robots have to take into account? And: how do
we conceive and ground “good lives” as more and more of the virtues and
interactions – starting with those of friendship – of good lives will be
increasingly interwoven with social robots?
For discussing these and further questions regarding the normativity of
emotional bonds with robots, in this interdisciplinary workshop we
invite submissions with a focus on (but not restricted to) topics such as
-friendship
-love
-sex
-trust
-objectophilia or object sexuality
-feminist perspectives on relationships
-family, children, and nurture
-disappointment, anger, and hate
-morally appropriate behavior
with regard to robots.
The workshop will take place on the 7^th and 8^th of May 2020 at the
International Centre for Ethics in the Sciences and Humanities (IZEW) at
the University of Tübingen. *Prof. Dr. Charles Ess*, Department of Media
and Communication, University of Oslo, will be a fellow at the Center of
Ethics at that time. He will give a keynote lecture and will be our
dialogue partner throughout the workshop.
Please submit abstracts of around 500 words to
Wulf.loh@izew.uni-tuebingen.de by January 31, 2020. Acceptance
notifications will be sent out by the end of February 2020. An
English-language edited volume is planned with the
publisher /transcript/. Those, who are invited to present their project
during the workshop should be prepared to send their completed paper of
about 6.000-8.000 words to Janina.loh@univie.ac.at
by August 31, 2020.
