This is really interesting how an emergent property can be seen in people,
plants and animals.

More-than-Human Participation

Christian Nold (University College London); Royal Geographical Society with
IBG, 28th-30th August 2013, London.

Addressing the conference theme of ‘new geographical frontiers’, this is
one of three RGS-IBG sessions, dedicated to participatory science, to be
held at the Science Museum’s Dana Centre. Entrance to these sessions is
free.

Sponsored by HGRG, SCGRG, PyGyRG and GIScRG (research groups of the Royal
Geographical Society with IBG) in association with London’s Science Museum
and UCL's Extreme Citizen Science Research Group.

Deadline: Saturday 23rd February 2013

Currently, in the fields of Citizen Science, Participatory Sensing and the
Internet of Things, people are being encouraged to use technical systems to
record and measure the external environment. Innovatively, this session
adopts a 'more-than-human' framework (Latour 2004, Bennett 2010), to draw
attention to the agency and activities of non-human actors such as living
animals and plants, technical devices, concepts and places. This session
aims to explore the often surprising consequences of research where
technologies gain their own agency, and the environment starts to speak
back: what happens when researchers try to turn citizens into sensors
(Goodchild 2007) and sensor assemblages start to becoming citizens? This
session asks for papers that examine  Citizen Science, Participatory
Sensing or the Internet of Things, with a focus on the activities of
more-than-human actors and addresses these questions:

- What kinds of new knowledge emerge when we pay attention to the
participation of more-than-human actors?
- What kinds of power relationships emerge when institutional actors have
to deal with more-than-humans?
- How can we co-design for the participation of more-than-human
collaborators?

Please send all abstracts (max. 300 words including title, name, contact
details, abstract) and/or questions to Christian Nold (
christian at softhook.com). Please submit abstracts by Saturday 23rd  February
so that I have time to get the session organised.
