<br>Session Title: SESSION 73 (Re)Thinking Mobilities and Chinese STS:" The
<br>Politics, Practices, and Cultural Logics of Diasporic Chinese Scientists in
<br>Technosciences, 1919–2018
<br>
<br>Session Description: Our panel invites papers about diasporic Chinese in
<br>the technosciences from 1919-2018. We are particularly interested in
<br>interdisciplinary work and projects that emanate from gender, ethnic, and
<br>global studies, examining Chinese diasporic women scientists’ and
<br>engineers' careers, education, and webs of relationships. We also welcome
<br>papers that address the representations of Chinese scientists in media,
<br>art, and popular culture; and explore their professional identities,
<br>experiences, and solidarities. Focusing on the period 1919-2018 is a
<br>challenge to rethink the mobilities of Chinese technoscientists across a
<br>spectrum of historical, political, and cultural pasts and presents without
<br>assuming conventional periodizations. We seek papers that undertake topics
<br>historically, as well as in contemporary times; and call for projects that
<br>use a variety of methodological and theoretical approaches to queries like
<br>these:
<br>
<br>• How are notions of modernity, scientific progress, and intellectualism
<br>reimaged through diasporic Chinese technoscientists, their international
<br>careers, and TRANSnational Chinese STS?
<br>• How do dispersed communities of Chinese technoscientists disrupt current
<br>debates about cosmopolitism, internationalism, nationalism, globalizations,
<br>diasporas, transnational migration, and indigeneity?
<br>• How do Chinese scientists disrupt the ways we understand the unequal,
<br>varied, and complex practices of technosciences globally?
<br>• What are the innovative theoretical and methodological ways to
<br>investigate Chinese scientists’ continuing, strategic renegotiation of
<br>class, ethnic, gender, and minority status as they circulate translocally
<br>amid globalization?
<br>• How have diasporic Chinese scientists' interventions differed across the
<br>technosciences and STS genealogies?
<br>
<br>Keywords: Chinese technosciences, women and minority scientists, migration,
<br>diaspora, and scientific workforce
