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.
For more information on the colloquium, please refer to the full invitation: https://tubcloud.tu-berlin.de/s/KXogPrizc6YQmKC .
