Note: the notion of “scholarly project” highlights relations among contributions to knowledge production, knowledge expression, and knowledge travel. Since the scholar becomes visible, the presentation becomes a temporal geography of scholarly actions and contributions. A project recognizes that other projects have come before and others will come after.
STS making & doing project
What is STS making & Doing? (cf. Downey & Zuiderent-Jerak 2021)
- Adds scholarly techniques, devices, infrastructures, and selves that turn STS lessons onto STS work
- Highlights attention to knowledge expression and knowledge travel alongside knowledge production
- Aims to increase flows of STS learning beyond the boundaries of the field as well as reflexive learning from those flows
- Contributes to STS knowledge production by theorizing and positioning knowledge expression and knowledge travel as integral to STS scholarship.
