Join them on Thursday, May 20th, 5:30-7:30 (PST) for the first of a two-part "Global STS" series of events, discussing the exciting "global turn" in recent STS (Science, Technology, and Society) scholarship and publication.
In recent years, the interdisciplinary field of science and technology studies (STS) has been undergoing what some have called a "global turn" through greater attention to knowledge production, scientific practices, and therapeutics outside of North America and Western Europe. Regional and transnational academic networks have been established to support nascent STS communities around the world. Many emerging scholars are interested in exploring transnational network-building, collaborative research, and decolonial praxis in STS.
To facilitate dialogue on the intellectual and political stakes of this "global turn" and how to become involved, the STS Futures Initiative will be hosting a two-part series on Global STS. The first workshop, "Global STS I: Transnational Network Building - Asia, Oceania, and Beyond," will feature STS leaders who have pioneered new academic networks in Australia, Asia, and globally. Come learn about their work and discuss how grad students can become involved. The second workshop, "Global STS II: Decolonial Praxis in STS," will continue the conversation, featuring STS leaders who are pioneering new publishing opportunities in STS, expanding the Euro-American "canon" in STS, and building STS communities in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.
