  2. What's the cost to research – to an entire discipline – of "AI" living rent-free in our heads?

    @dawnnafus brilliantly lays out the loss to #STS from so many being focused on AI-hype: 24% of papers at #4S were on AI.

  3. What a start into the academic week: I submitted to #Aoir2026 (🤞), I filed a grant application for #stsCH2027 (the bi-annual Swiss #STS conference I will be hosting at the University of Fribourg), and I learned that our #4s open panel for Toronto was accepted 🙌

  4. Fellow critical academia and science travellers! Given the current US developments I have a hard time drafting my abstract for the @[email protected] @[email protected] annual meeting on "Reverberations" in Seattle. STS has always been political – and I can't imagine (self-)censorship in this community of practice! What can we do? And what must we do to help our colleagues now?

  5. "AI Scientist" Have at it #STS #4S #EASST colleagues... Probably good for teaching material, if nothing else...

  6. If at #4s :) @titipi Weds 17th 11 am Agora 1 main building.

    Bugreporting on anticipatory Infra-solutionism: collective practices of struggle and resistance.

    In this paper we outline a disobedient action research approach in which we as 'The Institute for Technology in the Public Interest' (TITiPI) work on ways to collectively articulate community concerns on anticipatory infra-solutionism for the digital and green transition.

    As part of the Future Work Panel -

    Futures have been at the centre of STS work from its inception and have since flourished conceptually and methodologically. In this panel we seek to explore ‘futuring’ through futures thinking, digital futures, future histories, the futures of STS itself, and experiments with futures work.

    Location: Agora 1, main building
    Sessions: Wednesday 17 July, 9:00-10:30, 11:00-12:30, 16:00-17:30

  15. #4S #easst #Amsterdam Pls propose your paper/project /performative piece to our fab panel number P115 on global sociotechnical imaginaries of Ai. easst4s2024.net/open-panels/#1 Deadline Feb 12. You’ll get to hang out with Noopur Raval Mashinka Hakopian Ranjit Singh Rida Qadri Shazeda Ahmed and Xiaowei Wang. But also, even if none of you propose, the seven of us are going to have a very good time together ✨😎

  16. @estrid @stefan_laser_ @sister0 Yes, join our panel P193 in Amsterdam:

    > With the concept “planetary data infrastructures”, the panel explores expanded engagements with networked infrastructures, both concrete and speculative, that help foster more response-able, aesthetic, cooperative, and sustainable planetary relations. We invite conventional and experimental formats.

  17. @easst the
    European STS /4S conference is in Amsterdam next year and is now open for abstracts. There are some fab panels this year. We - Noopur Raval, Mashinka Hakopian, Xiaowei Wang Ranjit Singh and Shazeda Ahmed and I - have a panel proposed and accepted : P115. www.easst4s2024.net/open-panels/ #4S #easst #sts

  18. I'm greatly enjoying the Society for Social Studies of Science (#4S, #STS)) conference here in Honolulu . I aim to present a paper on [A #Manifesto for an Integrative Design-oriented Approach to Understanding Humans as Autonomous Agents – CogZest](cogzest.com/projects/a-manifes) at their 2024 conference in #Amsterdam next July

  19. Is the program available online for
    #4S in Honolulu 4sonline.org ?

  20. The 2024 #easst #4s conference on #ScienceAndTechnologyStudies comes with the theme 'Making and Doing Transformations', as announced by vu.nl/en/news/2023/easst-4s-st.

    What hashtag would be appropriate? #EASST4S24 #easst24 #easst4s2024? Looking forward to your thoughts, dear @sts colleagues

  22. Delighted to say our open panel 'Recognition and reward in STS and beyond: re-evaluating the endangered ecology of academia' has been accepted for #4S 2023 meeting. Please consider submitting if you are an STS person working in and around this area. The session outline can be found here (number 175):

  23. @cakeisnotalie I like seeing this spelled out neatly.

    At the end of the day I also want to spend the bulk of my time with #4s as well. I'd like to think more than a few of us are trying to figure out what #4 means. But it could also be that some of us are secretly #3s without really acknowledging it. Idk. I didn't get a lot of sleep today.

  25. CW: #STS use of #twitter vs #mastodon, association politics

    Dear friends & colleagues in #ScienceAndTechnologyStudies,
    Please help me out to develop some friendly punch line like arguments directed at our associations, like #EASST #4S etc, to also join the fediverse or even move over.
    Of course, critical concerns are welcome, too.
    Cheers!
