Open Panel #71: Revisiting feminist technoscience:
Exploring disciplinary diversity and translocal issues in/of gender in/of
academia
Feminist technoscience studies have developed alongside STS for at least four
decades, generating critical accounts of the making and doing of gender in
technoscience, including post-colonial and intersectional issues. This panel
invites papers that go further, exploring diversities, disunities, and
translocal aspects of gender in/of academia and that transcend the dominant
focus on biosciences and computer science, to investigate empirically and
theoretically the doing of gender in physical sciences, engineering, and human
sciences.
For a long time STS has been concerned with diversities in/of the
technosciences through concepts like epistemic cultures and cultures of
evaluation. This panel will explore how such insights may be brought to bear
on feminist analyses while critically reflecting on its own concepts and
theoretical strategies. For example, most feminist technoscience has invoked
biomedical metaphors in the construction of social theory, running the risk of
all such theories: essentialism, binaries, anthropomorphism, etc.
To expose the limits of that work we invite contributions
that explore the building of feminist technoscience theoretical work first
with physical and chemical concepts like equilibrium, spectra, acceleration,
catalyst, scale, and branes, and
secondly by thinking technoscience outside the conventional 18-20c
strategies for building social theory.
An empirical grounding will be appreciated in addressing the dynamics of
multi-dimensional and translocal gender balances and gender articulations
across disciplines, professions, organizations, and infrastructures. What kind
of subpolitics and catalyst actors are introduced in gender reforms in/of
academic institutions? How do migrations and diasporas make a difference?
