Upcoming opportunities of note to LEES Community members:
CALL FOR PROPOSALS for ETHICS-2025:
The IEEE International Symposium on Ethics in Engineering, Science, and Technology (ETHICS) is a conference series sponsored by the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT). Next summer, ETHICS-2025 will be hosted by the Department of Black Studies at Northwestern University, and the theme is “Emerging Technologies, Ethics, and Social Justice.” More details and CFP available at the conference website: https://attend.ieee.org/ethics-2025/
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS TO STS TEACHBOOK:
An STS Teachbook— currently under contract with Lever Press—is planned as an engaging cookbook-style volume that will inspire and guide educators of undergraduates in developing rich approaches for teaching the concepts, theories, and methods of the interdisciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies (STS, sometimes also interpreted as Science, Technology, and Society).

CALL FOR PROPOSALS:
Engineering Interventions: Interdisciplinary Engagements with Engineers
The International Network for Engineering Studies (INES) represents the interdisciplinary field of scholars who study engineers and engineering from a variety of social, political, and historical perspectives. Engineering studies aims to promote knowledge about engineering as a social and cultural activity by bringing together this important research and connecting researchers with similar interests around the world.
Please join INES for a two-day online workshop on Engineering Interventions: Interdisciplinary Engagements with Engineers (Nov. 12-13, 2024). The workshop asks: for whom do we do this important work? What is our relationship with engineering and engineers? What should that relationship be? What can we accomplish with and for engineers? In the spirit of applied and interventionist research, we invite proposals for sessions or papers on a variety of engineering studies topics that inform discussion of the question, what do we want our work to accomplish in the world?
The workshop is free for INES members. Membership information is here.
For more information, please contact Caitlin Wylie, wylie@virginia.edu.
The Union College Symposium on Engineering & Liberal Education will next be held in September, 2025. Updates here.
