In the past ten years, the study of science, technology, and society has emerged as a significant and provocative new interdisciplinary disciplinary effor. With novel approaches to the constitution of techno-scientific knowledge both inside and outside traditional research settings, science and technology studies have fruitfully challanged the antrhopologies, sociologies, and histories of knowledge more particularly to the nation-state project and its instiutional practices. This year we will more specifically explore the overarching theme of "Science, Security, and Society." How are techno-scientific projecs like those the workshop has focused on in the past being transformed by global geopolitical shifts and the global emergence of discourses of security? How is the securitiization of knowledge reconstruing our received understandings of scientific practice?
