The group started with a focus on feminist Science-Technology-Society (STS) methodology, and since 2022, has been successfully organising its meetings twice a year, each meeting themed on a paper chosen for discussion. This year, we decided to not set a new topic. We aim to discuss issues of science, technology, and medicine studies with a particular focus on the epistemic, social, and ethical implications of scientific knowledge production. We commit to providing sufficient space for the perspectives of marginalized knowers when it comes to selecting topics, readings, as well as analytical frameworks.

The paper for the next meeting is:

Kelly, M. P., Kelly, R. S., & Russo, F. (2014). The integration of social, behavioral, and biological mechanisms in models of pathogenesis. Perspectives in biology and medicine, 57(3), 308–328. https://doi.org/10.1353/pbm.2014.0026
