<br>Digital Experiments in the Making: Methods, Tools, and Platforms in the
<br>Infrastructuring of STS
<br>
<br>Open Panel #38 at the EASST/4S Joint Conference, Prague 2020, August 18-21
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Digital infrastructures are ubiquitous in the technosciences and in everyday
<br>life, and have become crucial objects of analysis for diverse STS
<br>researchers and their arrays of approaches. Digital infrastructures are also
<br>emerging as instruments for STS research itself, composed of an expanding
<br>array of methods, modules, data tools, visualizations, and platforms that
<br>create new possibilities and places for experiments in how we do STS, and
<br>for academic knowledge production writ large. At the same time, our new
<br>sociotechnical research infrastructures raise their own technical,
<br>epistemological, and ethical questions and difficulties, asking us to
<br>re-visit and re-invent some of our own methodological assumptions, analytic
<br>habits, and goals, scholarly and political.
<br>
<br>This open panel invites contributions from researchers engaged in fresh ways
<br>of developing and using digital technologies for ethnographic and other
<br>kinds of qualitative research on the technosciences. We are especially
<br>interested in presentations from researchers developing or using new digital
<br>technologies and media in their own research, experimenting with new
<br>approaches to data sharing and analysis, and to open access publishing and
<br>other forms of scholarly communication with engaged publics. We encourage
<br>epistemological and ethical analyses and reflections on these digital modes
<br>of knowledge production in STS, including presentations that explore new
<br>tools and concepts pertaining to privacy and related issues in the digital
<br>realm.
