Dear colleagues,
Below you'll find a brief call for problems for a roundtable event I'm
co-organising with Noortje Marres at the upcoming 4S/EASST conference.
It would be great if those of you planning to attend the conference
considered preparing a submission for it!
With best wishes,
Endre
What are the distinctive capacities of STS for posing problems? How are
these inflected by changing circumstances (ageing field, times of
crisis)? Insofar as STS is an interdisciplinary field, it can’t be
business-as-usual, or at least it can’t be only that. So: what is our
problem?
We have proposed a roundtable event during the EASST/4S Conference in
Barcelona (31 August – 3 September 2016) to address this question in an
interactive fashion. We would like to ask you, STS publics, to suggest
candidate problems for discussion during the event.
We therefore invite you to send us issues, puzzles, concerns you feel
are the most urgent, productive, frightening, and/or alluring for
science and technology studies.
The deadline is the 31st July.
Depending on the number and type of submissions, we will invite selected
problem advocates to a public event at the conference to present
problems and different possible ways of engaging with them. We are also
happy to consider self-nominations. The roundtable event will end with a
ceremonial moment in which we elect the best and the worst problem STS
is facing today.
We kindly ask you to limit your problem statement to half an A4 page
(max. 400 words). It may however contain images, links, and references.
Submissions should be send to [log in to unmask]
If you have any questions, please contact Endre Dányi
([log in to unmask]) or Noortje Marres ([log in to unmask]).
You can also read more about the roundtable theme and STS’s problems on

We are looking forward to your submissions!
With best wishes,
Endre & Noortje
