I think about what Candis Callison is talking about a lot. The crisis in journalism. The fallacy of objectivity and how it is used to uphold white supremacy and settler colonialism. And how essential integrations of STS and journalism are. They are so interrelated. #4S2019

Replying to @ruha9
@ruha9 asks what does it entail and capacitate to build OUT the field of STS, rather than build it UP. #4S2019

Replying to @ruha9
@ruha9 pushing back against the crypto politics and agenda setting of the naming of somethings (and not other things) as ‘urgent’ bc of the way such denomination bypasses carefully cultivated practices of deliberation. #4S2019

At the closing plenary at #4s2019 @ruha9 calls for a STS practice that is defined by criticality and creativity. We need to move beyond only naming the problem.

I love this archival knowledge of Octavia Butler @ruha9 is giving us right now. This phenomenal writer was a human, even a bit insecure. <3 <3 <3 and doing the revolutionary work of world building and imagining and prophecising through her fiction. #4S2019

Emily Martin is tracing possible relation, and it seems a solid closing. I’m tremendously grateful for happenstance encounters, chance suggestions, resonances, galvanizations and all the stuff that happened here which were not recorded #4s2019

I’ve had such a good time at #4s2019. I think my favourite was the Regenerating research culture: feminist STS approaches to STEM graduate methods session today, which was pedagogicallu as well as personally inspiring. Thanks! 📝💡

Closing out Panel 2, Abhinav Tyagi asks: is there a difference between "east" and "west" in scientific knowledge, and if so does it undermine the universalism and internationalism that science strives for? #4S2019

.@IlkeTurkmendag draws on Jasanoff’s concept of “sociotechnical imaginaries” to discuss ethico-legal implications of epigenetics & their troubling deployment to regulate maternal bodies. Via genetic determinism, pregnant women are responsibilised for foetal & child health #4S2019

Nothing like chatting with your NSF grant officer when you're lying in the hallway between sessions. #4s2019 #isthisSTS?

A wonderful panel 'Institutions and Ignorance' feat. @AbbyKinchy, @owenske3, Anna Geltzer, and June Jeon, for thinking on ignorances of all types - strategic, cultivated, morally and epistemologically desirable, structural, and legitimized by scientific fields. #4SNOLA #4s2019
