• Call for Papers: Digital Transformations and Climate Change: Futures, Infrastructures and Data

  2024-04-18

  We aim to delve into how digital processes and climate change interact with and influence each other. To achieve this, we invite contributions for an open-access issue in the Kulturanthropologie Notizen (peer-reviewed). We encourage submissions that adopt a cultural anthropological and STS perspective, underpinned by ethnographic insights that scrutinize futures, infrastructures, and data. Multimodal approaches to the topic are also welcome.

  Abstracts with a length of 300 words can be submitted to Dennis Eckhardt (dennis.eckhardt@fau.de) and Kathrin Eitel (kathrin.eitel@uzh.ch) by May 15, 2024.
