<br>The Centre for Gender and Women's Studies at Lancaster University, UK, in
<br>cooperation with the Department of Sociology, Lancaster's Centre for Science
<br>Studies, and the Centre for the Study of Environmental Change is pleased to
<br>announce its annual Summer School in Feminist Technoscience Studies. The theme
<br>is Meeting Frankenstein's Companions. Born at the intersections of the
<br>bicentennial of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's extraordinary science fabulation
<br>on germinations of life, and recent developments in transpecies affiliation,
<br>we will explore feminist science and technology studies across a range of
<br>topics related to matters of encounter, alterity, and more than human
<br>worlding.
<br>
<br>Delivered as a 4 day intensive summer school by a group of tutors and guest
<br>lecturers, this course includes a mixture of interactive workshops, lectures,
<br>film screenings and excursions. We will explore the ways in which feminists
<br>have engaged with questions of life, embodiment, and the Other in imaginaries
<br>and materialisations of technosciences and naturecultures. What counts as life
<br>and whose lives count? What relations of response-ability do we have for the
<br>sociotechnologies that increasingly become us? How do we research and do
<br>politics around practices of normativity and monstrosity, of making and taking
<br>life?
<br>
<br>The course is open to graduate/postgraduate taught and research students, and
<br>postdocs.
<br>Register by May 16.
