Themes

This symposium aims to delve into the emergence, evolution, and diversification of the Science, Technology, Arts & Society intersectional field, seeking to deepen our understanding through exploration of four key themes organised in four panels:

 

Towards Hybrid Research Scenarios
  • Exploring innovative methodologies and frameworks to facilitate profound research within the arts, emphasising the inherent values at the intersection of science, technology, arts and society.
  • Scrutinising past, present, and emerging projects and their impact on shaping the field.
Confronting Values and Measures in projects and policies
  • Investigating indicators and metrics to assess the impact and value of projects, initiatives, institutions and industries.
  • Engaging in discussions about the challenges and opportunities associated with measuring the multifaceted contributions to society.
  • Studying the transformative role of historical and current policies in nurturing the interdisciplinary intersection of art, science, technology, and society

Embracing social, ethical and legal challenges

  • Presenting case studies and projects led by artists, scientists, and technologists aimed at addressing pressing social challenges. Encouraging submissions that delve into the potential to foster community development and sustainable innovation.
  • Examining emerging social trends and models that promise to shape the future while addressing ethical issues and societal challenges.
  • Current debates around intellectual property rights, freedom of expression vs. censorship, ethical considerations like data privacy, access and equity, or environmental impact. 

Epistemologies and Methodologies 

  • Examining the epistemological foundations that underpin research and practice and the way it delves into the very nature of knowledge production.
  • Discussing methodologies employed in research and their implications for interdisciplinary collaboration. Processes, perspectives and dynamics that have proven to be helpful. 
  • Debating challenges and proposing solutions for integrating distinct disciplinary methods within projects.
