Institute for Science and Society Forum
This forum brings together scholars from leading groups in the field of Science and Technology Studies to collectively explore what STS research involves today and how to get STS involved in issues that compel us.
Rather than discussing what STS is or has been, this forum considers how STS is currently involved by the world: how our multiple commitments, contingent experimentations, affective attunements and close engagements animate our STS practices. How does participation in the making of technosciences and ecologies, responsible innovation but also the condition of being implicated as well as the search for speculative futures shape STS in the UK today?

Travel and Childcare Bursaries
We are making a number of bursaries available to facilitate the attendance of those postgraduate research students (PGRs) and early career researchers (ECRs) who might otherwise struggle to meet the costs of attending.
Bursary support of £60 is available for travel costs to the event or support with childcare. The bursaries are available for unfunded PGRs, unfunded ECRs, ECRs in receipt of a part-time wage only and others on the grounds of need.
Deadline for bursary applications is 15 February 2019. Please send an email to dimitris.papadopoulos@nottingham.ac.uk with a brief description between 100 and 200 words why you are in need of the funds and how this event is relevant to your work. Decisions will be communicated by the end of February. Applicants for the bursaries will have to register as per above but will receive automatically a place if their application is successful.
Directions
The event will take place in the Centre for Advanced Studies, Highfield House, University Park Nottingham, NG7 2RD (building 10 on the University Park campus map [PDF]).
