Dear colleagues,
<br>
<br>Spread the word! Our crowd-sourced Turkish STS encyclopedia, iris, is going
<br>live today! It aims to contribute to postcolonial and transnational approaches
<br>strengthening new territories and languages in Euro-American and English
<br>dominated STS.
<br>
<br>As a group of volunteers, from master students to early career researchers, we
<br>started off with this encyclopedia to not only translate STS concepts into
<br>Turkish, but also the discussions underlying the concepts, citing from the
<br>original texts.
<br>
<br>Yes, all the content in the website is in Turkish (at least for now), so in
<br>that sense it might seem like there is little to announce in an international
<br>emailing list. But we thought it is worthwhile to highlight what is already
<br>known to strengthen the power of the narrative:
<br>
<br>Producing for and thus thinking from within STS in a non-English language
<br>would not only enrich that language, but most importantly, could contribute to
<br>STS with its own dynamics.
<br>
<br>This is an iterative process and we aim to expand the encyclopedia together
<br>with the Turkish-speaking community who are studying, working, or simply
<br>interested in the field - if you're intrigued, or know someone who might be -
<br>get in touch!
<br>
<br>Cheers,
<br>Selen Eren
