The Stanford Science and Technology Studies Writing Group welcomes Stanford graduate students, postdocs, visiting lecturers, and other members of the Stanford community in the early stages of their academic careers whose work engages with the interdisciplinary study of science and technology. The goal of the writing group is to provide a supportive structure to help prepare work for publication and/or dissertation, as well as grant proposals, dissertation proposals, and any other type of writing demanded of beginning scholars. The 2007-08 schedule will be posted here soon.
The Stanford STS Writing Group met four times a quarter during 2006-2007, and concluded with a day-long graduate student conference and keynote event in the spring of 2007.
Critical Conversations: Methods and Practices in Interdisciplinary Science Studies Friday, May 18th, 2007
At each regular meeting, a participant circulates a piece of writing intended for publication or dissertation work and another participant serves as a moderator for discussion. In addition to the group discussion at meetings, participants are encouraged to provide written feedback to the author.
The STS Writing Group is supported by a grant from the Patrick Suppes Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Science and Technology at Stanford University.
The group generally meets every other Tuesday from noon to 1:30pm in History room 307. Contact: Brianna L. Rego (Department of History, brianna.rego at stanford.edu) or Brad Bouley (Department of History, bouley at stanford.edu) for this year's schedule.
The Patrick Suppes Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Science and Technology is soliciting applications for grants for support of the interdisciplinary study of science and technology in the academic year 2007-2008. These grants will be relatively modest (primarily in the less than $5,000 range), so that circumstances where cost-sharing will be available are especially appropriate. The grants are intended for the support of new initiatives involved with the interdisciplinary study of science and technology -- involving workshops, conferences, speakers, and short-term visitors. (Interdisciplinary initiatives internal to the sciences and/or technology themselves, which do not include an historical, philosophical, sociological, methodological, or other such meta-perspective on science and/or technology are not appropriate for such grants.) Applications should be submitted electronically to Rosemary Rogers, the Center Administrator (rrogers@stanford.edu), and should consist of a page or two of explanation and justification, a budget outline, and a statement of possibilities for cost-sharing.
