Nil Uzun joins #dnl36 as moderator and research associate at RWTH Aachen, where she investigates algorithmic warfare, military AI, and alternative tech futures. Her work bridges sociology, STS, and global justice, unpacking how technology both reflects and resists power.

yeah, just got a notification that we @KAEEGoetheUni got a small grant to develop a tutorial session with a small research task: students will be tasked to identify elements of #HiddenCurriculum in our #STS study programme. It will be fun, and hopefully offering critical insight, to think about this between #HigherEducation studies and #ScienceAndTechnologyStudies.

Book review: Technocolonialism by Mirca Madianou

Mirca Madianou’s Technocolonialism shows how six logics of digital humanitarianism – humanitarian accountability, audit, capitalism, technosolutionism, securitization and resistance – together combine to reproduce colonial practices of extraction, paternalisation, marginalisation and disempowerment through digital solutions.

Using examples from fieldwork in multiple geographies, Madianou first provides a brief history lesson on the logics of colonialism, demonstrating its far-reaching […]

#STS Scholars for Remote Access and Financial Fair Play!

We call on #ScienceAndTechnologyStudies (@sts) scholars advocating for #RemoteAccess and #Financial #FairPlay to sign this petition.

We demand STS communities to
1. provide remote access, ensure hybrid participation possibilities
2. make costs of future STS conferences& associations transparent.

Hi @[email protected], have spent the evening on scrutinising @stsing draft for the #stsingCodeOfConduct. This is an exciting read. Key issue for me: will we get at a version in which a non-stsing member can get into action the stsing ombudsgroup to investigate #AbuseofPower by an #stsing member against a nonmember?

Are you a #Canadian who wants to get a graduate degree in #ScienceAndTechnologyStudies (or #STS for short)?

Then you are in luck! York U's grad program in STS is accepting applications!

I'm on the faculty, so let me know if you have questions. And yes, you can study #alternativeSocialMedia in the program! I do!

International students can apply, too (though we have some reserved spots for Canadian students that have to be filled).

Dear #STS crowd,

Given increasing #fascism in the country I work in, Germany, I wonder:

What could a syllabus for #AntiFascistSTS entail, as in an #ScienceAndTechnologyStudies course that focuses on contemporary, historical and fascist prefigurative epistemic, semiotic and material #technologies?
