Newsletter

The Society on Social Implications of Technology publishes a monthly newsletter.

The SSIT newsletter hits member inboxes around the end of each month.

Please contact the SSIT Newsletter Editor-in-Chief, Shannon Lodoen (lodoens@erau.edu), if you have a news item, SSIT-related update, volunteer opportunity, call for papers, award notice, or “Feature Article” idea for a future issue.

Submissions are due by the first week of the month.

Dear Readers,

Happy New Year! We hope that 2026 is off to a strong start. SSIT is gearing up for another busy year of conferences, events, publications, and initiatives. While January’s issue is slimmer than usual, we’ve still got great items to share:

  • Calls for volunteers for the SSIT Conference Promotions Committee
  • Information about the SusTech 2026 Student Poster Contest and a SusTech Talk on water and energy interdependencies in the US
  • Exciting news that IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society (TTS) is now included in Web of Science
  • A Standards Column interview with Dr. Mahendra Samarawickrama and Mr. Nilantha Randeniya on P7021 PAR: Recommended Practice for Implementing Ethical Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Long-Term Climate Projections Towards Sustainability
  • New issues out for both of SSIT’s publications, TSM and TTS
  • Impending submission deadlines SASIGD 2026 (31 January) and Technovation (30 January)
  • And more!

This time of year is one both for reflection and for looking ahead. We hope that you will consider contributing to the SSIT Newsletter in 2026, whether through an event recap, article, or “SSIT in Action” entry. We love to share what our membership is up to, and we’re grateful for all those who contributed the Newsletter in 2025!

As always, we welcome your submissions for future newsletter content, which can be submitted via Google webform or email to lodoens@erau.edu. The deadline for inclusion in the next issue is 8 February.

All the best,

Shannon Lodoen and Aleksander Franiczek
