[Air-L] CFP: 'Governing Technologies' online workshop

[Preeti Raghunath]

Dear friends,

I'd like to share details of this proposed workshop being organised by the
School of Arts and Social Sciences, Monash University, Malaysia and
Nottingham University, Malaysia. Titled *'Governing Technologies: Exploring
datafied practices, imaginaries, and digital state assemblages in Asia'*,
the workshop aims to problematise past and current socio-technical
imaginaries and datafication practices of the rapidly digitising
nation-states in Asia, and gather critical analyses of where the digital,
government, and power intersect: Who are the (human and non-human) actors
propelling these initiatives and new arrangements? What do their discourses
around these imaginaries reveal about their ambitions, interests, and
conflicts? What role do communities and the people play in shaping,
adapting, and resisting digital plans and practices, and who decides? We
seek to bring together scholars interested in unravelling these politics
and practices of the digital in an online workshop, in *October 2022*.

We invite exchanges on empirical and conceptual contributions from multiple
disciplines that critically examine current arrangements of digital
technologies, societies, and/or states in Asia. Secondly, we also would
like to make this an opportunity to establish research networks and discuss
possible future research collaborations across the region and concurrent
disciplines. This could, for example, take the form of a planned special
issue in an academic journal or plans for collaborative and
transdisciplinary research projects.

For more details, please see the CFP here

Please note, the deadline has been extended to* June 15, 2022*.

Looking forward to sharing interesting work from and with the
AoIR community!

Best,
Preeti
