Call for participants: Workshop on “Care and (re)making gender through everyday technoscience”

Dates: 7-8 November 2024

Location: School of Regulation and Global Governance, Australian National University (ANU), Acton, Canberra

Workshop overview

How does care take shape outside or alongside institutionalised settings and channels? What can we learn about how forms of care constitute gender when they are heavily influenced—and at times disrupted—by technology?

RegNet and ANU Gender Institute are hosting a 2-day workshop to explore the theme of 'care' and examine how mundane relations of care materialise and contribute to the shaping of technoscientific gender relations. This forum supports scholars studying how technologies of care and caring for technologies shape what gender is and how it's done – both queering and querying the gendered compositions and representations of care.

Call for participants

We invite scholars to participate in this workshop. Successful applicants will be expected to submit 2,000-5,000 word drafts of a work in progress that they wish to develop through participation in the workshop. This draft paper will be due for submission prior to the workshop, no later than 11 October 2024. Participants will be expected to read two other papers in their session.
