Graduate Workshops in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Science, Technology, Society and the State – (STSS)

The study of science, technology, and society has emerged as a significant and provocative new interdisciplinary effort. With innovative approaches to the constitution of techno-scientific knowledge both inside and outside traditional research settings science and technology studies have fruitfully challenged the anthropologies, sociologies, and histories of knowledge once dominant in the academy. This interdisciplinary workshop aims to explore the complex connections between techno-scientific knowledge and the nation-state project. This year we will more specifically explore the theme of “Science, Security, and Militancy.” How does the securitization and militarization of knowledge projects challenge our received understandings of techno-scientific practice?
