Dear STS scholars in Sweden and beyond,
We would like to invite you to the next STS-meeting, which will take place at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, May 2-4, 2012. In the tradition of STS meetings in earlier years, we seek to bring together the diverse and dispersed community of STS, to provide room for presenting current research, exchanging ideas, discussing projects, and networking. We encourage submission of proposals for individual papers and entire panels. Thematically open, we welcome contributions from all STS-related fields, from history, sociology, and philosophy of science, technology, and environment, to provide the broadest spectrum of STS-related research in and beyond Sweden. Moreover, we seek suggestions for alternative formats. These could be, among others, roundtables debating the hotspots issues in the field and/or of public interest or author-meets-critic sessions on recent publication. To be as inclusive as possible we plan to have a bilingual meeting and ask for presentations held in Swedish or in English; suggestions for whole sessions should be monolingual either in Swedish or in English.
Please send your proposal (no more than 400 words and containing your institutional affiliation) to stsstockholm@gmail.com by February 15, 2012. Inquiries are also welcome at this address.
The organizing committee:
Nina Wormbs, Sabine Höhler, Adam Netzén -

- Co-founder of the "Berlin Feminist Science Studies Workgroup" (BFSSW) at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin
- The Berlin Feminist Science Studies Workgroup (BFSSW) was founded in January 2000 at the Max-Planck Institute for the History of Science. The aim was to create a network of scientists from the Max Planck Institute and other Berlin-based institutions or projects working in the field of feminist science studies, but soon the network spread to other towns. Currently the group consists of historians of science, biologists, psychologists, environmental scientists, medical doctors, cultural scientists and philosophers and brings together researchers from different institutional contexts. Research activities have focused on the field of history of medicine, biomedicine, biology, demography, epidemiology, and on related reflections in (feminist) natural science research, (feminist) science studies, post-colonial studies and cultural studies. The broad interdisciplinary composition of the group is reflected in a wide range of methods, theories and practice experiences from humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and medical science.
