[INES Announce] Want to speak at 4S?

[Wylie, Caitlin D. (cdw9y)]

Dear INES community,
INES is organizing a roundtable at 4S on “Making STS reverberate through engineering: reflections on engineering studies.” Please see the abstract below. Would you be interested in speaking? You can serve on the roundtable in addition to another talk you are presenting.

A 4S roundtable is a less formal session, with several presenters who discuss with each other and with the audience rather than giving a prepared talk.

4S participation limits:
“Each participant will be limited to one role as a presenter and two additional non-presenter roles at the conference. Non-presenter roles include organizing or chairing a session, being a discussant in a session, organizing or participating in roundtables, and participating in a Making & Doing session.”

If you’d like to join the roundtable, please email me by Friday Jan 24. If there are many volunteers, then we’ll select 3 or so speakers.

We’ll also propose an INES meet-up at 4S, and there will be many engineering studies-related talks. I hope to see many of you at 4S!

Many thanks!

Best,
Caitlin Wylie, with Beth Reddy, Yana Boeva, and Jessica Smith

ROUNDTABLE PROPOSAL
Making STS reverberate through engineering: reflections on engineering studies
How does our work of studying study cultures and practices of engineering affect the engineers we study? How does it shape how we teach engineering students? How do we learn from the engineers we study and teach? This roundtable invites discussion of the practices of doing STS-informed engineering studies, including historical, cultural, political, and ethical analyses of engineers and their work. Studying engineers means we learn a lot from them about their cultures, knowledges, and technical practices; how does this immersion influence how we think about STS? Likewise, what do our engineering research participants, collaborators, and students learn from us? We ask how ideas from engineering studies scholars and from engineers reverberate across each field, changing them both for the better. Speakers include established and emerging scholars in the fields of engineering studies, feminist science studies, and Making and Doing. This roundtable is organized by the International Network for Engineering Studies.
