Universitas Humanistica is a peer review  journal in Anthropology
and Sociology, with high impact in South America. It is indexed,
between others, in Historical Abstracts, Ebsco, IBSS, Scielo. So far
Universitas Humanisitca has mainly published in Spanish, but in this
occasion we are looking for contribution also in English and Portuguese.

Social Studies of Science and Technology (SSST) are configured as a
research field encompassing varied themes and theoretical positions. The
discussions that shape this field are presented in, among others, the
annual events organized by the Society for Social Studies of Science, known
as 4S, and the biannual meetings organized by ESOCITE, the Latin American
network of SSST. Among the main areas of study within SSST is the
understanding and problematization of the role that scientific and
technological knowledge (in all its diversity) has in shaping our
societies, and how this socially institutionalized knowledge is constructed.

The special issue of Universitas Humanística number 76 opens a call for
papers related to SSST. The emphasis of this special issue is to gather
critical reflections on the role of scientific and technological knowledge
from situated and geopolitical perspectives. We welcome studies that,
within these dimensions, contribute to thinking about, problematizing, and
constructing the role that science and technology have in the generation of
certain cartographies of inclusion and exclusion. This may include studies
that critically question the construction of disability, the study of
so-called social technologies (or technologies for social inclusion),
perspectives that analyze science and technology as knowledge cross-cut by
gender, and reflections that probe the ways in which these cartographies
shape particular ideas of nationhood.

The deadline to send *abstracts *for this special issue, explained in
detail here <
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1014134/UH76_convocatoria_Ingl%C3%A9s.pdf>, is *August
5*. The journal will be published in August 2013
