[Ekaterina Babintseva]

Dear SIGCIS Community,

We are writing with a reminder that the due date to submit your proposals to SIGCIS 2026 annual meeting is a little less than three weeks from now — Mon, 2/16.

Our theme for this year’s meeting is "Known Error.” Please see the full CFP here.<https://meetings.sigcis.org/> We will gather at the School of Information, UC Berkeley in June 17-18, 2026, but will also have options for virtual participation.

This year we are accepting submissions for individual papers, pre-constituted panels of 3-4 papers, software demos, roundtables, and other formats. We are also once again running our graduate student works-in-progress (WIP) closed session, where students can share draft chapters or article manuscripts with a more senior SIGCIS community member and receive feedback. If you would like to serve as a WIP mentor but are not otherwise submitting a proposal to SIGCIS, please reach out to us at sigcis.conference at gmail.com<mailto:sigcis.conference at gmail.com>.

We are also excited to announce that this year's keynote, "Computing in the Age of Decolonization,”’ will be delivered by Dwai Banerjee,<https://sts-program.mit.edu/people/sts-faculty/dwai-banerjee/> <https://sts-program.mit.edu/people/sts-faculty/dwai-banerjee/> Associate Professor of Science, Technology, and Society, MIT.

Bio: What new perspectives about the history and practice of science, technology, and medicine emerge when we foreground the intellectual labor of thinkers and practitioners from the Global South? Dwaipayan Banerjee's work centers the lives and creative visions of scientific practitioners in South Asia, challenging scholars to reorient how we understand the past and future of science, technology, and medicine. He is an Associate Professor in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the author of Enduring Cancer: Life, Death, and Diagnosis in Delhi (Duke Univ Press), Hematologies: The political life of blood in India (Cornell Univ Press) and Computing in the Age of Decolonization: India's Lost Technological Revolution (forthcoming, Princeton Univ Press).

Please help us circulate the call widely by forwarding the announcement to your own networks and communities!

Looking forward to seeing you in-person or virtually this summer!

With best wishes,
