[P2P-F] CaTaC 14: Dates and Keynote Speakers

[Maja van der Velden]

Welcome to Oslo!

Greetings, Maja

*

CaTaC¹14: Culture, Technology, Communication:
Celebration, Transformation, New Directions  
(Please distribute and cross-post as appropriate)

Conference website: <http://www.catacconference.org/>

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are very pleased to note that
CaTaC¹14 will be enlivened and inspired by two keynote speakers:

* Andrew Feenberg, Canada Research Chair in the Philosophy of
Technology, School of Communication, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver,
Canada.

Andrew is among the most significant and influential contemporary
philosophers of technology. His work is rooted in Critical Theory and
phenomenology, and emphasizes the critical requirements for democratic
approaches to technology.

* Judith Simon, Institute of Philosophy, University of Vienna, Austria;
Institute for Technology Assessment, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology,
Germany

Judith's research focuses on epistemic dimensions of ICTs, and is
rooted in STS and feminist philosophy. Her ideas on distributed epistemic
responsibility in sociotechnical environments play an important role in the
Onlife Manifesto, a project of the European Commission that seeks to foster
more humane and sustainable technology development.

CaTaC will take place from June 18-20, 2014 at the Department of
Informatics at the University of Oslo. There will be a doctoral colloquium on June 17.
NB!  June is a busy month for conferences and tourism in
Oslo.  We strongly urge potentially interested participants to explore the
resource lists on the conference website of recommended accommodations and
book as early as possible.  Notifications of acceptance will be issued
sufficiently early (March 28, 2014) so as to allow cost-free reservation
cancellation if need be.

Important Dates:

   Notification of acceptance: 28 March 2014
   Final formatted papers (for conference proceedings): 18 April 2014
