<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>The 2010
4S conference will be held with JSSTS (Japanese Society for Science and
Technology Studies). This is the first 4S annual meeting in Asia. 4S members
will have a chance to experience, interact with, and understand the cultural
diversity of Asia. Furthermore, holding 4S in Asia opens the door to questions
relating to universalities and cultural differences in STS concepts. This
meeting will provide a good opportunity for reconsidering STS in global
contexts as well as strengthening STS network worldwide.</span><span

style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Given the
growing size of the 4S conferences and the desire to be as inclusive as
possible, the program committee will need to make full use of the available
time slots. Therefore, individuals may be listed for a paper presentation and
one other role (such as session chair or discussant but not a second paper) for
a maximum of two appearances.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Paper
abstracts may be submitted individually or by a session organizer. Submissions
are in the form of abstracts of 500 words or less, and must include a summary
of the paper's main arguments and methodology, as well as a brief statement on
the contribution to the STS literature. Please choose the most suitable
categories for your paper:<br>
A) Environmental Studies<br>
B) Biomedicine<br>
C) Food<br>
D) Information and Communication Technology<br>
E) Energy / Nuclear Power<br>
F) Engineering<br>
G) Gender Studies<br>
H) Economics / Market Studies<br>
I) Public Engagement / Social Movement<br>
J) Science Communication<br>
K) Science, Technology, and Public Policy<br>
L) Theory and Method<br>
M) Others </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Session
proposals should be limited to 500 words total, and should contain a summary
and rationale for the session, as well as a brief discussion of its
contribution to STS. Session proposals should list names of all session
organizers and panelists, including institutional affiliations and (electronic)
addresses. Session proposals should be based on the assumption of one-and-half
hour time slots with fifteen minutes per presentation. A typical session may
have four papers, one discussant, and open discussion slot. You must have a
minimum of three complete paper abstracts in order to submit a session
proposal. The program committee may need to assign additional papers to
proposed sessions. Session proposals must also indicate a subject category.</span><span

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Proposals
for double and triple sessions on a single topic may receive a request to
consolidate the topic into one panel or to break the multiple sessions into
different topics. The meeting welcomes papers, sessions and events that are
innovative in their delivery, organization, range of topics, type of public and
which bring new resources to the STS community to explore these new relations
and themes.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
