technology.

Dr. George Sochan (gsochan@bowiestate.edu) and state for which track
you are submitting your paper.  (Also, include basic biographical

this institution.)

Papers and panel suggestions will be arranged according to the
following tracks:

PHILOSOPHICAL, POLITICAL, AND ETHICAL DIMENSIONS: topics focused on
how technology impacts the sense of being human; the environment;
political participation and democratic governance; sustainability;
power and global equality

does technology enable new/destroy old forms of social life; advance/
hinder gender equality; raise/diminish standards of living and
economic well-being; suggest/force human adaptations to technological
environments?

technology; aesthetic and artistic accounts of and reactions to the
destruction of old/creation of new technologies
