Fathomless Futures: Algorithmic and Imagined

Conference Theme Overview

We all live our lives forward, facing uncertain futures, yet social scientists feel most comfortable explaining the social world through causes rooted in the past or through the constraints and resources lodged in the present. Such explanations omit an important step: both historic and structural forces are refracted through the set of expectations people have about futures they imagine. Those forces are activated by the anticipation of what lies ahead.

We live in a time of rapidly growing predictive technologies, and spectacular prediction failures. Powerful algorithms are predicting and guiding our actions from economic forecasts, stock trading models, consumer research, hiring decisions, welfare administration, risk management, electoral mobilization, and political choices to the most mundane tasks of everyday life, like borrowing money, choosing books and movies, typing messages, filtering spam, and driving cars. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data are refashioning work, markets, governmentality, sociability, identity, and morality in unexpected ways and are redrawing the boundaries of what counts as valuable skills, knowledge, and culture. Their societal effects vary: they democratize access to information, but threaten privacy, help us with everyday chores, yet turn our personal data into a tradeable commodity. Improved efficiencies of prediction may bring great benefits in areas like healthcare and public safety, while trapping many in vicious cycles of accumulating disadvantages.

Just as predictive technologies proliferate, the world is becoming increasingly unpredictable. Our age is one of economic and political volatility that has presented ordinary people and experts alike with a series of great surprises, a heightened sense of uncertainty, and anxiety. With globalization both charging forward and in retreat, democracies in crisis, inequalities growing, institutions fraying, and large populations fleeing poverty and violence, exacerbated by our increasingly unstable natural environment, the future seems exceptionally inscrutable.

As no significant utopian political or economic alternatives are on offer, history appears to resemble a driverless car that is oblivious to our intended destination. The absence of a desirable and credible future in the public imagination makes inequality and injustice even harder to accept, fostering desperate resistance, resignation, or false nostalgia for golden pasts that never existed.

While this conference will feature papers all across topics of traditional concern for socio-economics, we especially welcome submissions addressing these changes in politics, the economy, and society at large. How can we understand the direction in which we are headed? What are the various ways to regulate these processes? How are these changes influencing inequalities, democracy, labor, communities, and the international balance of power? How should we think of time in social life? What role does imagination play in the economy? Will the mechanization of human cognition lead to a mindless social universe? How are identities being reconfigured? What has happened to human expectations, hopes, and predictions? How can we (re)gain control over our collective futures?

Established in 1989, SASE owes its remarkable success to the determination to provide a platform for creative research addressing important social problems. Throughout its three decades, SASE has encouraged and hosted rigorous work of any methodological or theoretical bent from around the world based on the principle that innovative research emerges from paying attention to wider context and connecting knowledge developed in different fields. SASE is committed to diverse membership and lively intellectual debates and encourages panels that include or are likely to include a diverse group of participants. This conference will also be an occasion to celebrate SASE’s 30th anniversary. 

Calls for paper proposals and session proposals will open on 6 November 2018 and close on 14 January 2019 28 January 2019

President: Akos Rona-Tas (aronatas@ucsd.edu)

Program Committee: Akos Rona-Tas (chair), Jenny Andersson, Jens Beckert, Virag Molnar, and Jackie O’Reilly

Mini-Conference Themes

Each mini-conference will consist of 3 to 6 panels, which will be featured as a separate stream in the program. Each panel will have a discussant, meaning that selected participants must submit a completed paper in advance, by 6 May 2019. Submissions for panels will be open to all scholars on the basis of an extended abstract. If a paper proposal cannot be accommodated within a mini-conference, organizers will forward it to the most appropriate research network as a regular submission.

Special Event - Social Sciences for the Real World

A wave of rampant anti-intellectualism has surged around the globe; from the US to Hungary, from the UK to Russia via Turkey. The “fake news” and “people have had enough of experts!” ideas constitute a genuine threat to scientific knowledge and reasoned argumentation – and therefore democracy and freedom.

The social sciences are particularly under attack for both political reasons (level-headed, fact-based argumentation is not in the interest of those politicians whose success depends on emotions such as hate and fear) and pecuniary ones (the output of social sciences research appears more difficult to commodify than the output of STEM subjects). Yet, social scientists and their work play a key role in what constitutes the modern societies in which we live. Democracy, constitutions, human rights, and capitalism were the result of complex processes of co-evolution of intellectual ideas and empirical realities. Intellectual ideas and theories have played a crucial role in shaping the world we live in and in defining what we take for granted realities. Their role in maintaining civilized and free societies is vastly underestimated. This is a dangerous development that we should fight back against.

This challenge will be taken up at the 2019 annual SASE meeting through two exceptional panels grouped under the heading “Social Sciences for the Real World”, to take place shortly after the main conference program ends in the Starr Foundation Hall (room UL102, University Center).

In the topical panels, we seek to help nurture the vital conversation between social scientists and members of the public in order to foster mutual understanding.

Two hot topics of immense interest to citizens and academics alike will be tackled at this event:

Session 1: The Digitalization and Automatization of Work and Its Implications for Working People (2-3pm)

SpeakersGiancarlo Crocetti (Boehringer Ingelheim), Gina Neff (University of Oxford), Mari Sako (University of Oxford), Pavlina Tcherneva (Bard College)

Chair: Imran Chowdhury (Pace University)

Session 2: The Rise of Populism and Authoritarianism and Its Impact on Freedom (3:30-4:30pm)

SpeakersSheri Berman (Barnard College), Koray Caliskan (The New School), Stephen Macedo (Princeton University), Sanjay Pinto (Workers Institute, Cornell / 1199SEIU Training and Employment Funds)

Chair: Anna Skarpelis (Harvard University)

Each session will bring together a panel of academics and interested members of the public to engage in a constructive debate about these crucial issues, and about how social scientists and people in the “real world” perceive them. The sessions will use innovative dialogue techniques to provide an opportunity to discuss what we can jointly contribute to solve these problems.

The sessions will be held consecutively on the afternoon of Saturday, 29 June 2019 (2-3pm and 3:30-4:30pm respectively) at the New School in New York City.

We hope you can stay in the city on Saturday afternoon to help make a difference in the world. Please sign up using the form on this page if you are interested in attending one or both sessions.

Women and Gender Forum

Established in November 2017 by a group of female social science scholars, the Women and Gender Forum (WAG) of SASE is an interest group of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE).

WAG has three objectives: 1. to improve senior representation of women in academia, 2. to provide a networking space for female scholars, and 3. to stimulate discussions about important issues, such as “challenges of publishing,” “work-life balance,” “leadership roles,” or “career progression.”

The 2018 Kyoto kick-off event of the Women and Gender Forum was very successful. We had over 80 participants discussing issues related to publishing, career progression and work-life balance, followed by a networking lunch.

As a result of the WAG Forum’s activities, in 2018 SASE has set up a ‘Diversity Committee’ within the Executive Council to monitor and support diversity within the organisation and supported our initiative to allocate a special keynote speaker for the WAG Forum at the Annual conferences. 

Every year we come together at the SASE Annual conference in a dedicated session to discuss research, share information, network with each other and welcome our junior colleagues.

This year’s event will take place from 12:10pm-1:45pm on Thursday, June 27th in the adjoining rooms of the Starr Foundation Hall and Event Café (rooms UL102 and UL103) of the University Center building (63 5th Ave). As lunch will not be provided, we advise you to bring a sandwich lunch from one of the myriad restaurants and shops in the area, which you can get during the break between conference sessions and the beginning of the Women and Gender Forum (i.e., between 11:45am and 12:10pm).

In the 2019 Annual Meeting in New York we have organized:

  • A peer-to-peer discussion session, organized as themed round-tables
  • A networking session and
  • A keynote lecture from Professor Nancy Fraser.

Membership is open to all female SASE members and those who identify as women in a way that is significant to them.

If you would like to become a member, please fill out the form on this page.

If you would like to get in touch, please e-mail: D.Sallai@lse.ac.uk

Online Program

The online program is available to be consulted, here.

While you are on this page, please take note of the important information below:

  1. SASE has gone fully digital this year! There will be no print programs available. Instead, you can find the conference program:

  2. Please note that you must bring your own laptop if you plan on using a PowerPoint presentation (MAC users should also bring a standard VGA converter and PC users should bring a VGA to HDMI converter if needed for your computer).
  3. Of the three buildings in which sessions will be taking place, two have rather small and slow elevators. We strongly suggest that you factor in the likelihood of elevator traffic when calculating your travel time between sessions.

The New School Art Tour

SASE is honored and delighted to have The New School offer art tours with Silvia Rocciolo, the University Art Collection Curator. She will give SASE conference attendees a 75-minute tour of the art collection at The New School.  There will be 2 tours – one on Thursday, June 27 at 12 noon and one on Friday, June 28 at 12 noon.  There will be a maximum of 25 persons accepted in each group, which will be on a first come basis.  If you would like to participate, come to the registration desk to meet up with Silvia.  Further information regarding the art collection here:  https://www.newschool.edu/university-art-collection/
