CFP: VIRTUAL WRITING WORKSHOP FOR GRADUATE/EARLY-CAREER RESEARCHES


“Changing dynamics of gender, family, and relationships in South Korea”,

Virtual Writing Workshop for Graduate/Early-Career Researchers


We warmly invite graduate and early-career scholars from around the world who are qualitatively researching gender, family, and relationships in South Korea to a one-day virtual workshop on 1st August 2023. The goal of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for participants to share their research-in-progress and to give and receive constructive feedback on each others’ works (circulated in advance) as well as to network with like-minded people in similar stages of their academic career working on closely related topics.

While we are open to applications working on any topic relating to gender, family, and relationships in South Korea informed by a feminist perspective and using qualitative data and methodologies, we particularly welcome those focusing on the following areas/themes:
  • Marriage, childbearing, and parenting
  • Children's perspectives and experiences
  • Romance, friendship, and intimate relationships
  • Alternative arrangements of care beyond the nuclear family and heterosexuality
Please send in your abstract of up to 500 words, including a preliminary title, topic, research question, methodology and the main argument by 15th March 2023. Participants whose abstracts are selected will need to send their writing by 14th July 2023 for circulation. You will have the opportunity to submit your work either as an extended abstract (around 3000 words including a motivation of the study, description of the analytic approach, and preliminary results) or a full paper (up to 9000 words including abstract, references, tables, footnotes, etc.), depending on the current stage of your research.

At the workshop, participants will give a 5-10 minute recap of their work. As our workshop aims to provide a friendly and constructive environment in which to develop ideas and work, all participants are expected to read and provide constructive and thoughtful feedback on the submission of a few other participants. Participants are also welcome to give comments on the other works based on presentations.

If you are unsure whether your research fits the scope of our workshop, we would recommend you to apply in the first instance. We hope to be as accommodating and inclusive as possible in selecting a diverse range of interesting topics and researchers from various backgrounds. In case you have any inquiries, please feel more than free to get in touch with the co-organizers. We are more than happy to answer any questions or simply to connect and learn about your research.

CFP: MEDICINAL ANIMALS AND ASIA WORKSHOP




Medicinal Animals and Asia:

Faunal Medicalization in an Era of Mass Extinction and Zootonic Disease Workshop



Animal parts and tissues have been used traditionally around the world as medicines as well as foods. Yet the incorporation of animals into medical systems based largely on plants is an historical process we still know comparatively little about, even in Asia, where the practice has been widespread. In the present day, most “medicinal animals” are in crisis, the subject of illegal and legal wildlife trading, driving many to the brink of extinction [Still, 2003; Symes et al, 2018 a&b; Van Uhm, 2016]. The process of “faunal medicalization” [Chee, 2021] has also been implicated in the spread of zoonotic disease, even while being promoted in some quarters as a cure. Understanding the historical and contemporary forces that have brought us to this juncture is the subject of this conference. We are particularly focusing on Asia as both a site and a global influence. As a site, certain Asian “traditional” medicines have transformed into “Asian industrial medicines” [Pordie and Hardon, 2015; Kloos and Blaikie, 2022], with animal parts and tissues becoming raw materials for a growing pharmaceuticalization of traditional zootherapies. As an influence, Asian-centered animal trading networks now have global reach, and are likely affecting or inter-mingling with pharmaceutics and zootherapies in other parts of the world. We are thus open to accepting papers that address cases in Asia, or cases elsewhere in the world with strong connections to Asia or Asian cultures. We are particularly looking for papers that are historically-informed, but help to understand and contextualize the current crisis; that work against anthropocentric bias by valuing animal survival and health in its own right; that highlight connections or disruptions in use or scale between pre-modern and modern uses of animals as medicines; that discuss how Asian faunal medicalization practices have affected species and practices across or outside Asian nation-states; and/or that explore junctions between wildlife conservation, animal medicines, and consumerism.

The organizers are historians, anthropologists, and philosophers, but we will accept papers written from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Papers should be empirically-based, however, and publishable within the special issue of a top-tier humanities or social science-based journal. Note that this is a workshop, with publication as its goal. Previously published papers or papers destined for publications elsewhere cannot be accepted.

This workshop is part of the project “History and Sustainability of Animal-Based Drugs in Asian Traditional Medicines” funded by a Tier 2 grant from the Singapore Ministry of Education (Gregory Clancey, PI; Liz P.Y. Chee, Co-PI).

The workshop will take place at the Asia Research Institute in Singapore, and selected delegates will be funded for travel, hotel, and some meal expenses. The delivery of papers via zoom is also possible for those unable to travel to Singapore.


SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

To participate, please send your paper proposal, which should include a title, an abstract (300-500 words, exclusive of notes), bio note (150-200 words) and a cv to Ms Valerie Yeo at valerie.yeo@nus.edu.sg by 31 January 2023. Successful applicants will be notified by mid-February 2023. Questions regarding the theme or subject of the workshop (as opposed to administration details) should be directed to Mr Jason Ng at j.ng@nus.edu.sg.

Panel presenters will be required to submit preliminary drafts of papers (2,000-3,000) words by 1 May 2023. These drafts will be circulated to fellow panelists and discussants in advance. Drafts need not be fully polished. Indeed, we expect that presenters will be open to feedback from fellow participants.

CFP: THE NEWSLETTER JOURNAL; INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR ASIAN STUDIES (IIAS)


The Newsletter Journal



The International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) is a Humanities and Social Sciences research institute and knowledge exchange platform based in Leiden, the Netherlands. It takes a thematic and multisectoral approach to the study of Asia and initiates programmes that engage Asian and other international partners.

The Newsletter is a free periodical published by IIAS, and the premier Asian Studies forum for scholars and experts alike to publish research essays and reviews. The Newsletter bridges the gap between specialist knowledge and public discourse and provides an exceptional opportunity to share work with our 50,000 readers worldwide.

We are currently inviting submissions for Issue #94, to be published in March 2023. We welcome four types of contributions:


The Study:

These are research essays of 1400-1700 words (for one-page articles) or 2500-3600 words (for two-page articles) on any topic in Asian Studies. Please include 2-3 images with your submissions.


The Focus:

Each issue of The Newsletter includes a special section called “The Focus” that compiles multiple articles on a particular theme. The Focus is put together by an external guest editor. Please note that Focus sections are planned well in advance, and we are currently only inviting Focus proposals. If you would like to propose a theme for a Focus section, please contact the editorial team.


New: The Tone

The Tone features works of creativity and curation. While this includes traditional museums and exhibitions, we increasingly encourage contributors to think in broader terms about artistic output: film and literary festivals, street art, digital media, musical recordings, crafts, and more. Articles in this section can be written by the curator/artist themselves, or by a third party. To pitch an article for The Tone, please reach out to the editorial team.


New: The Slate

The Slate is meant to be a space for educators and researchers to explore the debates, practices, challenges, and opportunities of 21st-century education. “The Slate” can encompass everything from personal reflections to practical resources for educators (e.g., syllabi, field exercises, etc.), from critical essays on traditional education to experimental teaching strategies. With this section, we seek perspectives that decolonize conventional curricula and pedagogies. Through socially and civically engaged approaches, the section aims to foster alternative models for education that are grounded in contemporary experience. To pitch an article for The Slate, please reach out to the editorial team.


Find more information about submission procedures and style guidelines.

For examples of previously published issues, please use this link.


Research essays for The Study in our upcoming issue should be submitted by 1 November 2022. All article submissions, Focus, Tone, and Slate proposals, and any other enquiries can be sent directly to the editorial team at thenewsletter@iias.nl.

CFP: NEW BOOK SERIES "DIASPORAS IN ASIA AND BEYOND"


New book series “Diasporas in Asia and Beyond”,

Monographs and edited volumes


Amsterdam University Press invites submissions for its new book series Diasporas in Asia and Beyond. This series aims to explore diasporic experiences scattered in different parts of the world through rethinking ‘Asia’ as a unique experience for those arriving, as much as it is for those departing. It accentuates Asia’s transnational and/or cosmopolitan bonds with the world and vice versa by considering the diverse connections, both imagined and actual, that diasporas fabricated in the course of settling in or leaving Asia. The process of re-settlement, establishment, and growth of diasporic communities has produced complex dynamics: changing transimperial or transnational relationships with ancestral homelands, new forms of contestation and collaboration in markets, workplaces, political arenas, social spaces in Asian cities and beyond, conflict and competition with diasporic communities sharing the same heritage elsewhere in the world, and the rise of unprecedented polyglot cultures and hybrid identities that combine local, communal, national, and global experiences, as well as individual and communal pursuits past and present.

We welcome monographs and edited volumes from all major disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and law (including but not limited to, history, anthropology, sociology, economics, geography, literature, cultural studies, and media studies) that focus on accounts and discourses situated in the margins of dominating colonial or national narratives, as well as diasporic experiences with negotiating and establishing spaces of their own that resulted in new forms of collaborations and divisions.

CFP: CULTURE-BOUND SYNDROMES IN POPULAR CULTURE


Culture-bound syndromes in Popular Culture


UPDATE: Deadline Extended 1 May 2022

We welcome chapter proposals on Native American cultural syndromes and their representations in popular culture. Please see the above call for chapters for more information. We are also open to suggestions regarding the table of contents and wish to include more culture-bound syndromes. Thank you. Apologies for crossposting.


Dear colleagues,

You are invited to submit an abstract for the upcoming edited collection Culture-bound syndromes in Popular Culture. The volume aims to provide in-depth and analytical insight into the representations of cultural imagery and narratives of various culture-bound syndromes through the lens of global and national popular culture, covering movies, television, literature, visual arts, fashion, festivals, popular music, and graphic novels.

What does a culture-bound syndrome mean? The concept has come to define a pattern of symptoms (mental, physical, and relational) experienced only by members of a specific cultural group and recognized as a disorder by members of those groups.

"Culture-bound Syndromes in Popular Culture" takes its readers on a journey across (popular) cultures and introduces them to an entirely new subfield of studies, at the conjunction of medical anthropology and popular culture, focusing on folk illnesses.

Thus, this book covers a broad range of case studies, subjects, texts, and cultural practices that lie at the intersection of folk illnesses and cultural studies and include national, transnational, and international media representations, with an accent on the reception and interpretation of the phenomenon from the perspective of its original space.

We warmly invite established and emerging scholars specializing in all areas of media and cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, social/cultural geography, and other relevant research fields to propose a book chapter on an individual culture-bound syndrome and its representations in popular culture. Both single and multiple-authored works will be considered. All work should be original and previously unpublished.

We are also very interested in hearing open proposals for possible chapters about other cultural syndromes from any other country if the Table of Contents strikes you as improvable in any way.

Please make sure to refer to a specific cultural syndrome (or more) in your abstract and title.

Chapters might explore but are not limited to:


SECTION 1 East Asia and India
  • Zou huo ru mo (China)
  • Dhat syndrome (India)
  • Hikikomori (Japan) Already taken!
  • Taijin Kyofusho (Japan) Already taken!
  • Hwabyeong (South Korea)
  • Pa-leng (Taiwan)

SECTION 2 Southeast Asia
  • Lanti (Philippines)
  • Latah (Indonesia, Malaysia)
  • Amok (Malaysia)
  • Koro (Singapore)

SECTION 3 Latin America and Native American culture
  • Locura
  • Mal de pelea
  • Nervios
  • Susto
  • Saladera (Peruvian Amazon)
  • Windigo Psychosis (Native American)

SECTION 4 Africa and the Middle East
  • Zar (Israel, Ethiopia)
  • Ufufuyane, Saka (Kenya)
  • Voodoo death (Haiti, Africa, Australia)

Routledge has expressed keen interest in the volume for their Research in Cultural and Media Studies Series.


Key dates

Abstract submission deadline: 1 May 2022 (after this date, please contact the editor to check if submissions are still possible)

Notification of acceptance: 15 May 2022

Full chapter submission (max 8000 words): 1 November 2022

Publication: January 2023

Please send in a working title, abstracts of max 500 words, and a brief biographical note of 150 words to:

prof.irina.pelea@gmail.com

Please feel free to contact the volume’s editor (Irina Pelea) with any questions or queries. I look forward to receiving your abstracts.

Los becarios de investigación de estudios coreanos de LB pueden tener formación en cualquier disciplina, así como llevar a cabo investigaciones interdisciplinarias que trasciendan los límites disciplinarios tradicionales. Además de los campos más tradicionales de los estudios coreanos, prevemos trabajos centrados en Corea en áreas como STEM, salud pública, planificación urbana, arquitectura y otras. La selección se basará en el potencial de la investigación del candidato para cultivar el diálogo y fomentar la colaboración entre disciplinas académicas, así como integrar, sintetizar y construir sobre las contribuciones disciplinarias existentes a la investigación de los estudios coreanos, en sentido amplio. Los becarios trabajarán en el Programa de Asia Oriental y en el Centro Einaudi de Estudios Internacionales, así como en colaboración con mentores y compañeros de Cornell.


Rol:

Los becarios se unirán a un centro interdisciplinario dinámico que reúne una profunda experiencia académica con amplias preocupaciones globales interdisciplinarias. Los becarios se beneficiarán de la formación y la tutoría en materia de publicaciones académicas y becas públicas al tiempo que contribuyen a la visión del Programa de Asia Oriental de hacer avanzar el estudio interdisciplinario de Corea. Organizarán la programación (como eventos pedagógicos y de investigación y/o coloquios), se coordinarán con el profesorado y los estudiantes, identificarán y se pondrán en contacto con socios globales y de la comunidad, y apoyarán al equipo de comunicaciones para difundir la investigación y los eventos de la iniciativa. Los becarios dedicarán aproximadamente el 50% de su tiempo a la investigación y el 50% a la iniciativa LB KSRS.


Posición disponible:
  • Becario visitante postdoctoral, o
  • Becario visitante predoctoral
El becario de investigación de estudios coreanos de LB puede ser un becario visitante posdoctoral (dentro de los 5 años posteriores a la concesión del doctorado) o un candidato al doctorado en una etapa avanzada de su doctorado (terminando su disertación). Estamos interesados en candidatos procedentes de programas de doctorado fuera de Norteamérica, así como de los Estados Unidos, y ofreceremos apoyo para la obtención de visados a aquellos que lo necesiten (este programa no ofrece el estatus de visado H1B).


Ayuda:
  • Estipendio por año académico (de agosto a mayo) de 29.000 USD
  • Ayuda para actividades de investigación de hasta 2.500 dólares (para actividades como viajes a archivos o conferencias, adquisición de material, costes de publicación, etc.)

CFP: VERGE STUDIES IN GLOBAL ASIAS SPECIAL ISSUE 10.2 PROPOSALS



Special Issue 10.2 Proposals


Verge: Studies in Global Asias invites proposals for special issue 10.2, which will be published in Fall 2024.

Verge: Studies in Global Asias showcases scholarship on “Asian” topics from across the humanities and humanistic social sciences, while recognizing that the changing scope of “Asia” as a concept and method is today an object of vital critical concern. Verge publishes works that engage with the ways in which “globalization” requires us to understand the past, present, and futures of Asia. In doing so, the journal not only provides a critical space to think through the productive relations and generative discontinuities between Asian studies, Asian American studies, and Asian Diaspora studies, but also emphasizes multidisciplinary engagement—a crossing and engagement of the disciplines that does not erase disciplinary differences but uses them to make possible new conversations and new models of critical engagement.

Proposals should contain the following information:
  • A working title for the issue;
  • An abstract / CFP that outlines the issue’s focus;
  • A provisional sketch of how the issue might undertake the journal’s distinctive Convergence features;
  • A brief outline of potential authors and essay topics (these are meant to help the editorial collective imagine the shape of the issue);
  • A plan for how the special issue might connect to other academic projects (conference panels, symposia, etc.) or Global Asias Initiative programs; and
  • The CVs of the guest editor(s).
Please note that all special issues of Verge have open CFPs. Given the GAI’s emphasis on reimagining the conditions of possibility animating scholarly research on Asia and its multiple diasporas and laying groundwork for sustainable and sustaining intellectual exchange across disciplinary, institutional, and field boundaries, proposals that reflect these goals and articulate paths towards accomplishing them will be viewed especially favorably.

Proposals are due by January 15, 2022. Please direct all inquiries and submissions to verge@psu.edu.

CFP: DIGITALLY-AIDED MOBILITIES IN THE POST-PANDEMIC ASIAN CONTEXT

                                        

Digitally-Aided Mobilities in the Post-Pandemic Asian Context 

May 19-20, 2022

Following the pandemic, the ways in which mobile bodies are being administered and governed are in sync with advanced techniques of demographic control, which manifests into increasing digital surveillance on mobilities. Conversely, the neo-liberal economic order reifies speed and mobility, while ‘deterritorialization’ continues to constitute an important paradigm for the ‘flows and networks’ in a globalized world. From within this apparent dichotomy emerges a thrust toward normativizing digitally-aided mobility, which has churned out a diverse range of digital apparatuses (for instance, apps that measure ‘proxemics’, most popularly, the contract tracing app; e-passes for public transports etc.) -- often guised as public health technology systems that seek to restrict, control, enable and negotiate mobilities across post-pandemic spaces. Departing from here, the conference seeks to examine the evolving nature of urban spatialities in the context of post-pandemic Asian cities: how it leverages digital infrastructures and how this forges links with a techno-futurist imagination of Asia.


Important Dates: Abstracts due: Dec 31, 2021

Decision on abstract: Jan 9, 2022

Draft paper due: Apr 22, 2022

It is hoped that select papers from the conference will eventually lead to publishable academic volumes. Amsterdam University Press has expressed strong interest in the project.

CFP: ENCYCLOPEDIA, THE ONLINE STATE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF IOWA


EncyclopedIA,

the Online State Encyclopedia of Iowa


The Department of History at the University of Northern Iowa is actively seeking contributors for the launch of Iowa’s online state encyclopedia in 2022. This digital resource will explore the history of Iowa, using chronological, thematic, and geographic lenses while also thoughtfully considering the diversity of Iowans and embedding the voices, history, and perspectives of those who have been traditionally underrepresented. Submissions will be peer reviewed by the EncyclopedIA Editorial Board prior to acceptance and publication, and documentation of the peer-review process and digital publication will be provided to item writers to add to their professional portfolio.

Audience and Purpose: EncyclopedIA entries will be written to be accessible to the general public as well as educators responsible for integrating Iowa history into their elementary and secondary school classrooms. The state encyclopedia is an outgrowth of Teaching Iowa History, an award-winning, NEH grant-funded project under the leadership of the Iowa Museum Association that supports K-12 educators teaching Iowa history using primary sources. Topics for primary entries in EncyclopedIA will be drawn from the Iowa History Tagging Framework, supporting the K-12 Iowa Social Studies Standards in Iowa History.

Content and Entries: EncyclopedIA entries will vary in length and scope to explore different elements of the history of Iowa and its many communities and people.
  • A-level entries (approximately 3,000 words) cover Iowa History Eras, Themes, and Counties as referenced in the Iowa History Tagging Framework. These topics consider broad processes, developments, and subjects in state history as they have impacted Iowa and Iowans, some over hundreds of years. See Eras and Themes lists below.
  • B-level entries (1,000-1,200 words) cover topics that examine particular elements of A-level subjects in greater depth and detail. Topics under the Thematic column of the Iowa History Tagging Framework offer examples. For example, nested under the Agriculture theme, topics include Science and Technology of Ag and Farmers and Farm Life. See the list below for details.
  • C-level entries (300-700 words) focus on particular persons, places, things, structures, groups, or events that can be linked to broader topics in Iowa history. For example, if the A-level article is Agriculture and the B-level article is the Science of Ag, a supporting C-level article could be Norman Borlaug.
  • D-level entries (200-500 words) offer descriptions of objects and artifacts in publicly accessible collections in Iowa.

Initial Call:

While we welcome expressions of interest in any potential content area and type, in this first call, we are seeking expressions of interest in contributing A- and B-level entries to facilitate the launch of the project.

Background and focus:

Responsible innovation (RI) refers to taking interest in future through collaborative management of science and innovation in the present context (Stilgoe, Owen & Macnaghten, 2013). RI has focused on socio-ecological needs & challenges and committed to continuously engage relevant stakeholders to anticipate potential problems, mutual learning and improved decision-making (Wickson & Carew, 2014). Thus, the technological innovation needs to have any harmful consequences for the well-being the society and the environment at large (Swierstra & Jelsma, 2006). However, the evidences suggest for time lag between development of technology & understanding their positive & negative impacts, if any, on the health and the environment (Owen, Baxter, Maynard, Depledge, 2009). This suggests the need to invest in technological forecasting (Deuten, Rip & Jelsma, 1997) to minimize if any, the harmful effects of technological innovation. At the same time, we also find a mention of the inherent limitations associated with the regulatory frameworks and the risk management techniques to minimize the harmful consequence of technological innovation. To overcome these limitations, it has been suggested that the actors engaged in technological innovation act virtuously to realize the idea of responsible innovation (Pandza & Ellwood, 2013). Therefore, the business organization engaging in the process, service, & product innovation(s) while leveraging scientific research and technological developments in the field should be responsible for its potential negative consequences, if any, on the human being, the society, and the planet. In other words, responsible innovation asks agents involved in technology innovation to follow regulatory & societal rules, norms, and principles (Pandza & Ellwood, 2013).

The collective role of innovators and/or innovating organization(s), especially as social actors, needs to be responsive to each other from ethical, sustainable and societal desirability perspectives.  Responsible innovation is not a new concern but remains an important theme of research and innovation practice with different framing across the time and the place (Genus & Stirling, 2018; Stilgoe et al., 2013). The literature on responsibilities, risk, and governance of science & technology goes back many years (Jonas, 1984). However, the four key dimensions of responsible innovation - anticipation, reflexivity, inclusion, and responsiveness (Stilgoe et al. 2013), require a fresh thinking and requires unpacking of theorizing responsible innovation in the context of organizing innovation-focused organizations in to address the triple bottom line (i.e., the people, the profit, and the planet) so as to satisfy concerns of all relevant stakeholders.

According to Stilgoe et al. (2013), anticipation (i.e., the systematic proactive thinking for socially robust risk research), reflexivity (i.e., the moral responsibility that asks for openness and leadership), the inclusion (i.e., inclusion of all impacted stakeholders), and the responsiveness (i.e., addressing grand societal challenges) is required for the governance of science & innovation. Extant literature suggests that organizations with focus on responsible innovation deploy innovative structures to engage with its stakeholders (Malhotra, Majchrzak & Niemiec, 2017), practices environmentally focused HRM practices (Singh, Del Giudice, Chierici & Graziano, 2020). Furthermore, the previous literature suggest responsible innovation to depend upon corporate ethical policies (Singh, Chen, Del Giudice & El-Kassar, 2019), use knowledge management tools (Santoro, Thrassou, Bresciani & Del Giudice, 2019) and proactively addressing the dark side of innovative business model (Malhotra & Van Alstyne, 2014).

Having said that, we know little about how to organize organization in Asian context to have reflexive character, engage in inclusive dialogues with key stakeholders, and be responsive to both present and future grand societal challenges. Similarly, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) argues for “most critical shift” necessary to attain ambitious 2030 Agenda that calls for integration of ‘people’, ‘planet’, and ‘prosperity’ components of sustainable development “in and through” science, technology and innovation (STI) policy (UNESCAP, 2016). UNESCAP (2016) makes it a point for the Governments in Asia and Pacific region of the world to institutionalize action-orientated STI programs in sync with the development strategies to attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Of course, it goes without saying that organizations across industry in Asia are mandated to organize themselves in a manner suited well to integrate ‘people’, ‘planet’, and ‘prosperity’ components of sustainable development goals of the UN through responsible innovation. In other words, the UNESCAP (2016) calls for contextualized management research with Asia relevance towards global contribution to scholarship on responsible innovation. Therefore, while building on bridging policy studies and innovation (Kern et al. 2019), digital transformation of innovation (Nambisan et al. 2019), inter-organizational relationship (Zhou, Wu & Li, 2019) and the bright & dark-side of political ties (Wang, Zhang, & Shou, 2019), this special issue focuses on questions that investigate how to organize an organization for responsible innovation in Asia. Adding to policy issues and digital transformation related to innovation, this special issue also aims to explore governance issues related to responsible innovation in Asia. Possible questions that this special issue intends to explore, but is not limited to, are:

  • Does responsible innovation in an organization in Asia require responsible leadership across all the levels and the functions to be responsive to the grand societal challenges? And, if so, what kind of leadership is required for responsible innovation in organization in Asian context?
  • How can an organization in Asia reinforce a shift in responsible thinking amongst the actors wherein they reflexively and proactively consider what not do to more responsibly, going beyond just focusing on what to do, especially when it comes to the design of processes and products?
  • How should an organization be organized in Asia to absorb creative tension between technically feasible and societally viable innovation? Should an organization in Asia provide guidelines and frameworks for deployment and use of innovatively designed processes and market offerings to minimize negative societal impacts? What should such guidelines and frameworks be in Asia?
  • How can an organization be organized to anticipate societal impacts and making tradeoffs between commercial interests and societal interests in Asia? What are some of the processes and practices that enable proactively and reflexively making such tradeoffs in Asia?
  • What characterizes responsible HR systems in organization in Asia context to attract, develop, sustain, and retain talented actors who crave for openness and responsible leadership within cultures of science and innovation, especially in a multi-generational workplace, whereby each generation has a different notion of what is responsible innovation?
  • What dynamic capabilities help an organization in Asia to adjust its course of actions in response to new knowledge in the field, emergent viewpoints, and norms, and rapidly changing external context?
  • What kind of leadership and organizational culture develop and sustain systematic thinking to increase resilience, to decipher new opportunities for responsible innovation in Asia and to shape schemas for socially robust risk research?
  • What makes a value-sensitive organization in Asia that encourages the culture of openness and transparency to serve the aim of responsible innovation?
  • What organizational culture frameworks inculcate and strengthen social, ethical and political stakes of the organization in Asia that accompany techno-scientific advances?
  • What organizational design promotes institutional reflexivity in the governance of science and innovation in Asia?
  • What techno-structural interventions should an organization in Asia engage in to preempt the detrimental consequences of new technologies and new processes on the people and the planet?
  • Which organizational design in Asia encourages and sustains continuous engagement with relevant stakeholders and even inclusion of “non-experts” on scientific advisory boards with a clear purpose to expand the inputs to and delivery of governance of science and innovation?


Submission Processes & Deadline:

  • The paper submission deadline is June 30, 2021.
  • All submission to undergo APJM’s standard reviews & revisions after initial scree by the Guest Editors.
