Please note the immediate ambiguity of the word "Code" in your panel's title. For me, at least, it brought to mind encoding/decoding schemes and the like, not software. Thanks, Brian Berg On Thu, Mar 13, 2025 at 2:21 AM FICHEN Mathilde via Members < members@lists.sigcis.org> wrote:
Dear colleagues,
We are organizing a panel on the social history of code creation and programming practices for the *SHOT conference <https://www.historyoftechnology.org/annual-meeting/2025-shot-annual-meeting/open-sessions-list-2025/>*, and we invite you to submit proposals. While software history has gained traction, the cultural, social, and technical dimensions of coding remain underexplored. This panel seeks to address this gap, drawing on Critical Code Studies and related fields to examine how source code and programming practices shape and reflect broader historical contexts.
The *full proposal <https://www.historyoftechnology.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2025_shot_hocquet_code_histories.pdf>* can be found on the conference website. If you are interested, please submit a 150 word abstract as well as name, title, affiliation, and e-mail address before March 23. Please feel free to share this with interested colleagues.
Best, Mathilde
*Organizers: Alexandre Hocquet (Université de Lorraine), Frédéric Wieber (Université de Lorraine), Titaÿna Kauffmann (University of Luxembourg), Mathilde Fichen (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers)*
