[Bigdatasur] CfP: Technology & the Environment Workshop

[Mallika Balakrishnan]

*Call for Provocations - Technology and The Environment Workshop*
17th June – 12pm BST


The Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy is calling for
participants to provide provocations for a workshop to further explore the
‘cost of convenience’ and the opaque impact that digital technology has on
the environment.

The workshop aims to provide a forum for emerging researchers to enter into
speculation, critique, exchange, and dialogue on the topic.

Although it is primarily aimed at international PhD researchers, the
workshop is also open to journalists, tech workers and those pursuing
research outside an academic context.


*Workshop Details*
Prior to the workshop, participants are asked to produce a 150-word
provocation on a topic across the environmental impact of technology/the
political economy of the environment/technology nexus, that they would like
to discuss at the workshop.

The workshop itself will take place online, with presentations,
discussions, and practical exercises. Participants are asked to produce a
3-minute provocation to encourage discussion at the workshop.

After the workshop and building on peer feedback during it, participants
will be asked to write a 500 word version of their presentation for
publication online on our blog.

The workshop is free but we cannot cover travel or other costs, which are
expected to be met by participants or their institutions.
