We are pleased to send you the call for papers for the special issue "Ignorances in the sciences" of the journal Lato Sensu. The submission deadline is January 31, 2025. Papers can be written in French or in English. In this special issue, we propose to take an epistemological stance at the ways in which ignorance is present in the sciences. It seems to play many roles. It is a social and political construct of the scientific enterprise, a heuristic and driving force in scientific discovery, while possessing an epistemological and conceptual status that distinguishes it from a simple lack of knowledge. This observation of pluralism leads us to question the ignorances in the sciences. We are looking for proposals that explore both a general epistemological framework for ignorance and its epistemological (and even ethical) implications in special sciences. Contributions in the following topics are particularly welcome: Definitions and conceptualisations of scientific ignorance

Introduction Water is a precious and vital resource for our survival and well-being. However, the increasing population has led to a growing human demand, resulting in excessive water use for domestic, agricultural, commercial, andindustrial purposes. This overuse, combined with the effects of climate change and pollution, jeopardizes the sustainability of our environment. Faced with these challenges, it is imperative to adopt innovative approaches for the treatment, management, and preservation of water resources that go beyond conventional methods. This will ensure equitable access to high-quality water and safeguard a sustainable future for future generations. Objective This book aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the latest developments in in emerging trends and technologies applied to the management, treatment, and conservation of water resources. It will provide insights into the most significant trends in this field, with a specific emphasis on digital water manageme

The Artefacts Consortium is an international network of museum professionals and scholars of the history of science, technology, and medicine who promote the use of objects in research. Annual Artefacts meetings, each organised under a pertinent theme, provide a collegial venue to gather to discuss exciting work being done with collections in museums and universities across the globe. Call for Papers How are digital techniques changing museum practice: for objects, for museum workers, for audiences?

The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) is one of the largest colleges at Alabama State University (ASU). The College, and by extension, the University, offers an expansive array of academic programs that foster critical thinking, first-rate scholarship, and encourage research and artistic creativity. As part of its research and publication agenda, CLASS is inviting ASU faculty members – and faculty members within and outside of Alabama -- to participate in an edited volume that critically interrogates social justice issues. This book will provide scholarly analysis, critique, and discussion of a wide range of contemporary social justice issues in the United States. Although it lacks a precise definition, John T. Jost and Aaron C. Kay (2010) defined social justice as a “state of affairs in which (a) benefits and burdens in society are dispersed in accordance with some allocation principle (or set of principles); (b) procedures, norms, and rules that govern political and
