Dear colleagues,
we cordially invite you to join the 4th Biographies of Artifacts and
Practices (BOAP) Research Colloquium. Based on a collaboration of
researchers from the University of Edinburgh, Aalto University, and the
Technical University of Berlin, this bi-monthly colloquium provides an
open platform for an international network of researchers interested in
BOAP and related methodological and analytical approaches. Its main goal
is to contribute to strengthening the robustness of research designs in
STS and the sociology of technology and innovation. Each event features
the presentation and discussion of one research project that traces the
biographies of complex sociotechnical systems across multiple locales
and extended timeframes, often linking multiple studies and scales of
analysis.
The colloquium will take place online on July 4th, 4pm(CET). It will
feature a talk by Neil Pollock andRobin Williams (University of
Edinburgh) titled “The Sociology of the Digital Future: A Biography of
Artifacts and Practices (BOAP) Perspective.” Drawing on the example of
the Gartner Hype Cycle, they will focus on the role of a new class of
actors, promissory organizations, in the construction and productization
of expectations about emerging innovations.
