Call for papers, AMS2012 - from the AMS Societal Impacts discussion board:
Please see the following call for papers for the upcoming American
Meteorological Society meetings in New Orleans early next year.
Call for Papers: Is the Medium the Message? The Role of Technology
in Conveying Local "Ways of Knowing”
Heather Lazrus (National Center for Atmospheric Research)
Randy Peppler (University of Oklahoma)
Papers are sought for a session titled “Is the Medium the Message: the
Role of Technology in Conveying Local ‘Ways of Knowing’” to be held as
part of the Seventh Symposium on Policy and Socio-Economic Research at
the 92nd American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting in New
Orleans, Louisiana, 22-26 January 2012.
Reflecting the 2012 AMS Annual Meeting theme of “technology”, our
session will explore how technology mediates knowledge and ‘ways of
knowing’ – how we measure, communicate, and store knowledge.
Technology can be empowering and facilitate ways of knowing, but it
should also be problematized. Technology does not exist in a vacuum,
but rather is embedded within larger cultural, social, economic and
political contexts and processes. Thus, we are seeking papers that
demonstrate how technology can facilitate ways of knowing and
discussions that problematize the roles of technology. Questions we
hope to address include: (i) What is the role of technology in local
and indigenous observations of weather and climate? (ii) What is the
role of technology in local preparedness and adaptation measures?
(iii) What is the role of technology in ways of knowing about
different times and places (e.g., weather forecasts and climate
predictions as ‘ways of knowing’)? And (iv) How are local and
indigenous ways of knowing mediated and sustained through technology
(e.g., film, radio, computer databases, remote sensing technologies,
social networking and internet technologies, hand-held technologies)?
Our session will bring together scholars from diverse social and
natural science disciplines who work at the interface of weather,
climate, and society A discussion period will follow oral
presentations.
Please e-mail your abstract to Heather (hlazrus@ucar.edu) and Randy
Peppler (rpeppler@ou.edu) and submit it electronically via the Web by
1 August 2011 (refer to the AMS Web page at
http://www.ametsoc.org/meet/online_submit.html). An abstract fee of
$95 (payable by credit card or purchase order) is charged at the time
of submission (refundable only if abstract is not accepted).
