Upcoming PhD Seminar!!!
"HUMANS, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE DANCE OF AGENCY"
by Prof Andrew Pickering of University of Exeter,
Friday, October 13, at 11 AM
Economics Deparment (Darsena area) - Acquario Room
All SRV PhD students are welcome to attend
Few info on Prof Andrew Pickering: a leading scholar in the field of Science and Technology Studies. His studies in the fields of cybernetics, history of technological innovations, ontology and philosophy of science, have significant implications for the understanding of the co-constitution of human and material agency in the digital transformation of work and organizing (advanced robotics, A.I., etc). Professor Pickering has held fellowships at MIT, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, Princeton University, the Guggenheim Foundation, the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford and, most recently, the Institutes for Advanced Study at the Universities of Durham, Konstanz and Bauhaus University, Weimar. He is currently an Emeritus professor at the Department of Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology. Some of his most important works are: 'The Mangle of Practice: Time, Agency and Science' (1995), 'Constructing Quarks: A Sociological History of Particle Physics,' (1999) e 'The Cybernetic Brain: Sketches of Another Future' (2010).
