How should democratic societies use, and how have they used, scientific and technical expertise to guide their affairs? What institutions, ideologies, procedures, standards, and expertise have (or should have) been applied in inferring factual decisions in public affairs? This set of interdisciplinary and interconnected questions is fast becoming centre-stage in the humanities and social sciences, and this conference will bring together leading researchers from all corners of the academy to explore the potential for interdisciplinary cooperation in studying them.

Lancaster Sociology Intellectual Party
Sociology Summer Conference and intellectual party 2012
2-3 July 2012: http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/events/sociology/summerconference/
Lancaster Sociology research students would like to invite other PhD students to our annual Intellectual Party in the summer of 2012.
The summer conference in 2-3 July is a great opportunity to present your work at Lancaster, collaborate with other research students, participate in practical workshops, and have a great time. The deadline for abstracts is 14th March 2012.
The 2012 Intellectual Party offers you the chance to meet other Sociology research students; share your work in a friendly, encouraging environment and meet and engage with staff from Lancaster’s department of Sociology. For 2012 we are planning a special gallery of ideas about crises, and a spectacular finale. If you want to stay an extra day, you are welcome to join us on a ‘sociological expedition’ to the Lake District. Our Intellectual Party is more than just another conference; it combines academic challenge with a lot of fun!
All participants have to give a 20 minute talk. This year we are inviting people to submit abstracts in relation to a series of themed ‘Salons’ and more mysterious ‘Secret Gardens’.
Salons: If your research relates to one of the themes listed below, you can submit your abstract for inclusion in a ‘Salon’ – a dedicated session, chaired and hosted by well known ‘Salonnieres’.
Monika Buscher: Digital, mobile methodology, intra-active,
Tim Dant: Stuff, materiality, bicycles, culture, wheels, bags, boxes, things, assemblages, human-thing interaction, guns
Anne Marie Fortier: Multiculturalism, citizenship and migration
Maureen McNeil and Celia Roberts: Gender, sexuality and reproduction
David Tyfield: Crisis, finance, political economy
Elizabeth Shove: Social practice, change and transition, ordinary consumption
Lucy Suchman: STS, feminist technoscience, ICTs, design, innovation
Bron Szerszynski: Climate change
John Urry: Mobilities
Sylvia Walby: Gender, violence and the economy
Secret Gardens: You might prefer to submit your abstract to a ‘secret garden’. Abstracts can be on any theme or topic, but in making your submission we’d like you to pick five key words from the list below that bear some relation to your research. Ambiguity, Body, Complexity, Difference, Energy, Fear, Globalitis (meaning references to globalisation, the global, etc.), Heritage, Income, Justice, Knitting or networks, Love, Myth, Nomadic, Organic, Power, Qualitative/quantitative, Risk, Structure, Time, Un- (as in unnatural, unpleasant, unlikely etc.), Virus, Work, Xperience (deliberately mis-spelt), Yellow, Zone. Secret garden sessions will consist of papers that have key words in common.
If you are interested in joining us and presenting a paper in one of our Salons or Secret Gardens, please submit your abstract by March 14th 2012.
The registration fee for non-Lancaster students is £65. This includes refreshments, dinner and lunches during the two day conference. If you have any queries please contact Angela Loxham.

CFP: Computational Culture, a journal of software studies
Call For Papers: Deadline 30th March 2012
Computational Culture, a journal of software studies
http://computationalculture.net/
The new peer-reviewed open access journal Computational Culture has been
launched. The first issue entitled A Million Gadget Minds is available
online at: http://computationalculture.net/
The journal's primary aim is to examine the ways in which software
undergirds and formulates contemporary life. Computational processes
and systems not only enable contemporary forms of work and play and
the management of emotional life but also drive the unfolding of new
events that constitute political, social and ontological domains.
In order to understand digital objects - such as corporate software,
search engines, medical databases, and their constitutive role in
culture, or to enquire into the use of mobile phones, social networks,
dating, games, financial systems or political crises, a detailed
analysis of software cannot be avoided. A developing form of literacy
is required that matches an understanding of computational processes
with those traditionally bound within the arts, humanities, and social
sciences but also in more informal or practical modes of knowledge
such as hacking and art.
Computational Culture is now inviting contributions for the second
issue. We seek articles, book, project and software reviews, and also
indications of interest for future special issues focusing on
databases and social media.
Please submit a completed paper by the deadline of 30th of March or
contact the editors via the website to express an interest.

CFP: Columbia Religion Graduate Student Conference: "Pray, Kill, Eat"
Call for Papers
(DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 5, 2012)
The Religion Graduate Students' Association of Columbia University is now accepting paper proposals for its Eighth Annual Interdisciplinary
Graduate Student Conference:
Pray, Kill, Eat: Relating to Animals
across Religious Traditions
Friday, April 20, 2012, 9 a.m. - 6:30
p.m.
Columbia University, New York, NY
The keynote speakers for the conference are:
Professor Wendy Doniger,
the Mircea Eliade Distinguished Service Professor of the History of Religions in the University of Chicago Divinity School
Professor Kimberley C. Patton,
Professor of the Comparative and Historical Study of Religion at Harvard Divinity School.
Humans have always had complex and intimate relationships with animals. Animals have been feared, revered, hunted, sacrificed, eaten,
utilized, domesticated, and worshipped for thousands of years. Religious traditions have been instrumental in both reflecting and constructing humans' notions of animals and have integrated such notions into comprehensive mythical, symbolic, and ritual frameworks
of meaning and action. In recent decades, however, many earlier forms of such relationships have been radically transformed in the face of rapid development. At the same time scholars like Kimberley Patton and Wendy Doniger have led efforts to rethink animals
and religion from comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives. This conference, therefore, engages both the shifting complexity of the modern world and a growing body of scholarship in religious studies. We seek papers that explore animals as both religious
objects and subjects, and probe the myriad ways in which religions reflect, shape, and re-shape the relationship between humans and animals.
We welcome papers that address contemporary as well as historical articulations of this topic, drawing on diverse methodologies and sources.
Papers may be on any topic related to animals and religion. Suggested themes include:
- Sacrifice
- The use of animals (or animal parts) in festivals, rituals and other religious contexts
- The deification and demonization of animals
- Religious dietary practices (e.g. prescriptions and proscriptions regarding animals)
- Transgressive practices involving animals
- Animals as the paradigmatic Other
- Blurred categories: hybrids, half-animals, shape-shifting, etc.
- Possession of/by animals
- Animals in religious narratives
- Animal symbolism
- Religion and animals in the 21st century (urbanization, technology, industrialization of animal husbandry)
- Animal rights and the treatment of animals
- Religion, animals, and political discourse
- Evolution and creationism
- Reincarnation
Please submit paper titles and abstracts (300 words or less) to
columbiareligion@gmail.com.
Please include name, institutional and departmental affiliation, and a contact email address.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE (EXTENDED): February 5, 2012

Research Associate position in History of Social Science and Communication of Science
Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge,
Research Associates in History of Social Science and Communication of
Science
Salary: £27,428–£35,788 pa
We wish to appoint two full-time post-doctoral research associates, for
4-years from September 2012, to be part of a European Research Council
funded project 'Economics in the Public Sphere: USA, UK, France, Poland and
Brazil since 1945' (ERC Grant:283754). The project is directed by Dr Tiago
Mata and will comprise of a research team of five members, including one
research assistant/administrator and two doctoral students.
Candidates must have an outstanding record in a field related to the
project (history of social science, communications studies, and sociology
of knowledge) and an excellent knowledge of the economic and political
history of the country case selected. Preferred applicants will have
experience in one or more of the research methods: archival research, oral
history, ethnographic observation, content and textual analysis of media.
Candidates must have completed their doctorate prior to taking up the
appointment.
In addition to pursuing their own original research, post holders are
expected to help maintain a project website, organize and participate in
project seminars and workshops, and provide editorial assistance. They will
be expected to produce at least one research paper a year on a topic
relevant to the project and assist in compiling and editing a collected
volume of papers. All staff will be based in Cambridge.
Project description
The project studies 'economic journalism' as a site for the production of
public economic knowledge. The practices of journalists will be examined to
reveal how they parse competing claims of expertise by academic economists,
other social scientists and by laymen. The project takes a cross-national
approach examining the economic press the in USA, UK, France, Poland, and
Brazil. Cultural standards of trust, the history and economics of the
media, and the history of economics and social movements will be used to
explain the emergence of distinct national genres of 'economic journalism'.
The project offers an original perspective on how public knowledge of the
economy is an iterative process engaging journalists, academics and laymen
and explores the implications of this knowledge formation for the
possibilities of public support for economic action and policies.
Relevant excerpts from the original ERC proposal can be found at
www.hps.cam.ac.uk/jobs/econpublic.pdf
