<br>
<br>There is now a well-established story of STS and innovation studies working at
<br>some distance from one another, with innovation scholars sometimes calling for
<br>a closer relationship with STS in order to repair this division. However,
<br>there have always been good examples of STS scholars working across both
<br>fields and contributing to each. At the same time, there is a growing strand
<br>of STS research which addresses innovation in terms (for example) of
<br>imaginaries, co-production, responsibilities, transformations and
<br>incumbencies. Very often, such research challenges the universalistic claims
<br>made for innovation and instead stresses the contingencies, multiple
<br>possibilities, interruptions, emergences and contexts within which specific
<br>innovations are enacted. Themes of innovation cultures, futures, regenerations
<br>and democratic engagement are also important here. This open panel invites
<br>contributions from STS scholars whose work addresses the broad topic of
<br>innovation in emerging worlds. We welcome empirical studies exploring
<br>innovation in specific contexts but also those which seek new conceptual
<br>possibilities regarding the relationship between STS and innovation. What
<br>place can and should the study of innovation play within STS?
