This is our organization’s 30thanniversary. It was in 1989 that SASE was launched by its founder and first president, Amitai Etzioni – an auspicious year, when the Berlin Wall expired and the World Wide Web was born. With the end of communism, the only alternative economic system to capitalism vanished, leaving, at least for a while, neoliberal capitalism as the only game in town, and sending scholars critical of the workings of the economy to parse small differences of capitalism’s varieties. Nineteen Eighty-Nine was exactly the right time to create a home for an interdisciplinary reassessment of all things economic. Since then, SASE has nurtured a style of scholarship that combines the creativity of trading ideas across disciplinary boundaries with rigorous empirical research. During its first two decades, SASE laid the foundation of its intellectual enterprise, started its very successful journal, and created a community of scholars. Our third decade has been one of robust growth. With the economic collapse of 2008 and the following Great Recession, interest in the scholarship SASE represents has been expanding, and our annual meeting this year promises to be the largest in our history. We hold our conference at The New School for Social Research, which is itself celebrating a milestone year, as it turns a century old. Among The New School’s founders were Thorsten Veblen and Wesley Clair Mitchell, and during its first 50 years it hosted heterodox economists such as George Katona, Adolph Lowe, and Robert Heilbroner. With its interdisciplinary and critical tradition, and its world renown, there are few better places for SASE to celebrate its 30thbirthday. Yet our Annual Meeting is not about the past but the future. Our theme invites research on ways the future can be incorporated into our thinking about the economy. Full of uncertainties, the future is hard to fathom. How do social actors develop expectations about the future and what role do those play in their behavior? What can we know about the future? To what extent is our knowledge descriptive and performative when it aims at things yet to come? How does the nature of knowledge change with recent technological, political, and social transformations? These are some of the questions our conference will address along with many other themes. SASE itself is moving forward. For the first time, our organization will award the Alice Amsden Book Prize. Named after the brilliant political economist, who also taught at The New School, the prize will be given every year. Another novelty is SuAVE, a service to help our members SASE 2019 – Fathomless Futures: Algorithmic and Imagined 5 The New School for Social Research, New York City, USA connect with each other year-round. We would also like to build bridges between our scholarly pursuits and civil society. As a new initiative, SASE will host two roundtables called “Social Sciences for the Real World”, where academics, activists, and members of the public get to discuss topics such as populism and job automation. I would like to thank the many people who have made this meeting possible. Our hosts, The New School and Dean Will Milberg, provided the venue for our conference. David Stark, Josh Whitford and the Sociology department at Columbia University helped with our gala site. I am grateful to Virág Molnár, Jackie O’Reilly, Jens Beckert, and Jenny Andersson, who as our program committee helped fashion the intellectual direction of the conference. I would like to acknowledge the labor of SASE members who agreed to serve on various committees, including Roberto Pedersini, who organized our Early Career Workshop, and the work of network organizers who selected the panelists from a record number of submissions. As President, I have also benefitted from advice by my predecessors, Gary Herrigel, Christine Musselin, Marion Fourcade, Bruce Carruthers, and Jonathan Zeitlin, as well as by our new treasurer, Nina Bandelj. Yet, the person who really keeps SASE’s 30-year-old wheels turning is the inimitable Martha Zuber, with her intellectual vision and curiosity, boundless energies and miraculous skills. She is aided by a wonderful staff: Pat Zraidi, Jacob Bromberg, and Shaun Owen. SASE is very lucky to have them. We all hope that you will have a great conference, with valuable presentations, stimulating discussions and productive debates. SASE 2019 – Fathomless Futures: Algorithmic and Imagined 6 The New School for Social Research, New York City, USA About This Program First and foremost, SASE has gone fully digital this year! There will be no print programs available. Instead, you can find the conference program: • At sase.org (as a PDF, with accompanying addendum updated regularly) • At https://sase.confex.com/sase/2019/meetingapp.cgi (as a searchable online program) • And as a mobile app on both the Apple App Store and Google Play (by searching SASE 2019). The conference schedule has been loosely divided into two event types: plenaries and sessions. In an attempt to limit scheduling conflicts, sessions do not overlap with plenary talks. Plenary featured speakers are all listed in the at-a-glance calendar at the beginning of this document. There are ten time slots for sessions over the course of the conference, as indicated on the at-a- glance calendar. Since there are multiple sessions scheduled into each time slot, each session has been identified with a letter and a number. The letter corresponds to the network organizing the session and is paired with a number to create a unique identifier to help you locate the session in the program.
