Co Editors: Andrew Kettler, University of South Carolina-System William Tullett, Anglia Ruskin University Prompt: The  Routledge History of the Senses , contracted and expected to be in print for 2024, will summarize the existing field of the history of the senses and provide a space for explorations of ongoing research. The history of the senses became prominent within historical study during the 1990s and was methodologically based upon earlier inspirational work that combined anthropological questions of cultural learning with the radical tones of social history. As it has expanded, the field has provided – and continues to provide – a considerable space for the exploration of diverse historical topics through the lens of sensory experience and phenomenological interpretation. The central focus of this edited volume is a global history of the senses. As such, this CFP desires a wide range of authors working in Sensory History and Sensory Studies. We are specifically looking for ...

Journal:  Ethics and Information Technology Despite its “engineering” metaphor, little work on conceptual engineering has focused on the role of technology in changing and disrupting concepts. In the philosophy of technology, by contrast, increasing attention is given to the ways in which technologies challenge fundamental ethical and ontological concepts.  The aim of this special issue of Ethics & Information Technology is to explore questions at the intersection of conceptual engineering and philosophy of technology (including AI). We encourage contributions from different philosophical backgrounds and intercultural traditions, as well as interdisciplinary approaches. Possible questions to address are, but not limited to: How do socially disruptive technologies affect foundational ontological and ethical concepts, such as NATURE, REALITY, AGENCY,  etc. ? What are the mechanisms by which technologies can change concepts? What implications does conceptual change have ...
