Digital pasts, presents, and futures: Human consequences

This conference examines how digital technologies shape –and are shaped by – historical trajectories, present-day practices, and imagined futures.

This conference brings together scholars from Science and Technology Studies (STS), digital humanities, social sciences, and allied fields.

We are particularly interested in the human consequences of digitalization: how technologies reconfigure work, care, governance,  democracy, knowledge, inequality, embodiment, memory, and social relations across time.

The conference is motivated by a shared concern that digital technologies are too often framed as novel, disruptive, or inevitable, obscuring their historical roots, uneven impacts, and alternative futures. Rather than focusing only on what is “new,” we invite contributors to situate digital technologies within longer temporal arcs, relational contexts, and lived experiences.

You will find practical information, information about confirmed key note speakers, conference fee and call for abstracts on DIGIT's web page (digitresearch.no).

The deadline for submitting abstracts is March 30. 

Registration opens April 15.
