Fwd: [ecig_shot] CfP: SHOT 2017 Graduate Student Workshop
by M. Hicks 15 Mar '17

15 Mar '17

FYI, grad students! ______________________ Marie Hicks, Ph.D. Asst. Professor, History of Technology Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago, IL USA mhicks1(a)iit.edu | mariehicks.net | @histoftech Programmed Inequality: How Britain Discarded Women Technologists and Lost Its Edge in Computing (MIT Press, 2017) www.programmedinequality.com Begin forwarded message: From: Colin K Garvey <garvec(a)rpi.edu> Date: March 14, 2017 at 6:08:02 PM EDT To: ECIG_SHOT(a)googlegroups.com Subject: [ecig_shot] CfP: SHOT 2017 Graduate Student Workshop Hi all, Colin Garvey here in my capacity as “official ECIG representative” to advertise that the Call for Papers for the Graduate Student Workshop at this year’s SHOT is up! The workshop is chance for graduate students to present papers in an "intensive workshop embedded in the formal SHOT conference.” The idea is that this will be a safe place to debut ongoing research and receive top-notch scholarly feedback on it before submitting to the main conference next year. In any case, all graduate students are welcome to submit a short paper. For first time presenters and grads considering SHOT, this is an excellent opportunity. At the Graduate Workshop, grads can present their work in the SHOT environment once before submitting it for consideration for the Robinson Prize at the following year’s meeting, which is only available to first-time presenters. To be clear, because the Graduate Workshop is technically a separate event within SHOT, participation in it does not disqualify one from submitting for the Robinson Prize the following year. [If I had known about this a few years ago I would have done it!!!!] Please consider forwarding the following to your relevant networks: Call for Papers: SHOT Graduate Student Workshop, October 2017 SHOT invites applications from graduate students to present short papers (up to 10 pages, 1.5-spaced) at an intensive workshop embedded in the formal SHOT conference. The workshop will provide graduate students with an opportunity to develop their presentation skills and to receive extensive feedback on their work. This is an exciting opportunity to become familiar with SHOT’s scholarly community before presenting a first official paper at a later SHOT conference as a candidate for the Robinson Price. The workshop will be on a morning or afternoon October 27-28, 2017 (the annual meeting runs October 26-29). Each graduate student will present her or his paper and comment on another paper. The workshop will be mediated by John Krige (Georgia Institute of Technology), Arwen Mohun (University of Delaware), Jennifer Alexander (University of Minnesota), and Colin Garvey (RPI). Proposal Format: One page in total, comprising name, contact, affiliation, paper title, and an abstract of up to 300 words. Graduate students may find "Guidelines to writing a good SHOT proposal" on the SHOT website helpful. Send proposals by e-mail to SHOT.secretariaat(a)tue.nl with "Graduate Student Workshop" in the subject line. ***The deadline for proposals is April 15, 2017 *** Download the Call for Papers here. http://www.historyoftechnology.org/news/call_for_papers_shot_graduate_stude… -- A list for the Early Career Interest Group (ECIG) and others wishing to promote the interests of early career scholars in the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT). --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SHOT Early Career Interest listserv" group.

two questions about teaching & a book announcement
by Edgar Daylight 15 Mar '17

15 Mar '17

Dear All, I have two questions about teaching computing history in computer science (C.S.) departments. + Question 1:Which C.S. professors on our planet have one or more funded Ph.D. students working on the history of their field?(I am currently aware of work going on at Middlesex London, Newcastle, and Amsterdam). + Question 2:Which academics are teaching the technical/internal/intellectual history of computing to C.S. students?(I am already aware of Giuseppe Primiero, Maarten Bullynck, Giorgio Casadei, and myself.) Please drop me a line if you have any specific data you would like to share. I would also like to take the opportunity to announce my latest book, Turing Tales, available from Amazon and other online bookstores. See: https://www.amazon.com/Turing-Tales-Edgar-G-Daylight/dp/9491386069/ref=sr_1… Half of the book is written for historians (covering new material on Turing's legacy in the Netherlands). The other half is written for researchers and educators in computer science (specifically: formal methods & programming languages). Many thanks,Edgar Daylight.

CfP: SHOT 2017 Open Panel on "AI & it's Discontents"
by Colin K Garvey 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Dear all, In preparation for SHOT 2017, we are soliciting papers for an open panel on: The History of Artificial Intelligence and its Discontents With origin myths involving many of the 20th century’s Great Men of Science and their intimate relationships with that most revolutionary and profound of transformations—the emergence of computing—the history of artificial intelligence (AI) has long been popular fare. Indeed, the field itself is remarkable for its studious cultivation of its own history, with much of the canon written primarily by AI insiders and developers themselves (e.g. McCorduck 1979, 2004; Crevier 1992; Brooks 1999; Boden 2006; Nilsson 2010). Perhaps unsurprisingly, the story they tell is more often than not a triumphant march of progress towards the current pinnacle we are standing on today—with a few bumps along the road, thrown in for good measure. Now that AI is back and booming again today, offering promises and threats of massive social transformation, this progress narrative risks becoming a hegemon, legitimating the technological status quo and closing down opportunities for democratic deliberation about the direction of change. What possibilities exist for disrupting, destabilizing, and otherwise challenging the insider’s Whig history of AI? Who and what are AI’s discontents? How have they challenged, resisted, disrupted, or destabilized AI? Submissions are due before March 31st. Please feel free to contact me, Colin Garvey <garvec(a)rpi.edu <mailto:garvec@rpi.edu>> for more information. For more details please see http://www.historyoftechnology.org/call_for_papers/open_panels.html <http://www.historyoftechnology.org/call_for_papers/open_panels.html>

Conference announcement: "Paths into Digital Society" and „Home Computer Subcultures and Society Before the Internet Age“
by Martin Schmitt 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Dear SIGCIS, I’m proud to announce two wonderful conferences organized by our research project on the Computerization of Germany, located at the Centre for Contemporary History in Potsdam: "Wege in die Digitale Gesellschaft“ (30./31.03.2017, Potsdam, German only) and „Home Computer Subcultures and Society Before the Internet Age“ (24./25.03.2017, Zurich, English). The first conference "Paths into Digital Society / Wege in die Digitale Gesellschaft“ is the final conference of our research project that began in May 2014. The aim of our research project is to analyze in a comparative perspective the impact information technology had within different sectors of society, politics and economy in East and West Germany within the last 50 years. The conference will not only be a forum for the discussion of our results, but also a attempt to connect the broader scene of contemporary history with the insights history of computing provides. Please find more information on our Blog http://www.computerisierung.com/?p=751 <http://www.computerisierung.com/?p=751> and at http://zzf-pdm.de/site/316/default.aspx#DIGITALISIERUNG It takes place from the 30.-31.03.2017 at the Centre for Contemporary History in Potsdam, Germany close to Berlin. Please note that the conference language will be German. The aim of the International Exploratory Workshop “Home Computer Subcultures and Society Before the Internet Age” is to bring together current research on computer subcultures at the dawn of home computing, to analyse their role in the computerisation of (post-)industrial societies, and to look at how these often marginalised user groups interacted with the state and the public. It will be held in Zürich, Switzerland at the Collegium Helveticum, Semper-Sternwarte, Schmelzbergstrasse 25, 8006 Zürich from the 24.03.2017 - 25.03.2017. It’s a joint conference organized by the Department of History, University of Zurich/Zentrum Geschichte des Wissens, the Centre for Contemporary Studies Potsdam and Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung Potsdam the Department of Media, Aalto University, Helsinki. You’ll find more information at http://www.hsozkult.de/event/id/termine-33330?title=home-computer-subcultur… <http://www.hsozkult.de/event/id/termine-33330?title=home-computer-subcultur…> Please feel free to contact me in case you’ve got questions on the conferences or our research project in general.
