Science and Technology Studies: Graduate Students
Graduate students who work on Science Studies related topics are strongly encouraged to contact us about their interests.
In the 2004-2005 academic year, graduate students in Science Studies related topics formed a Mellon Workshop entitled "Science & Technology Studies: Methods of Research." This Mellon workshop served as a forum for graduate students from a broad range of departments who identify themselves as working within Science & Technology Studies (STS). In fostering such a community at Brown, the Mellon Workshop encouraged interdisciplinary investigation and exchange of the diverse methodologies associated with STS. In addition to sharing the topics and methodologies of their dissertation research, participants in this workshop engaged with the work of scholars who have undertaken the task of defining STS. The collaboration culminated in an international graduate student conference on the history, philosophy, and sociology of science, technology, and medicine: Mephistos 2005.
We encourage you to visit the website for Mephistos 2007, held at UCLA, April 6-8, 2007.
