Dear all,

I write you ton inform you of two upcoming seminars with Cyrus Mody, historian
of science and technology studies, on the 29th and 30th november 2023 (both in
english, online or in-person in Paris). Those talks might be of interest for
subscribers of this list, regarding critical studies of computing and
science.

Hope you'll be able to join, looking forward for the discussion!

The Long Arm of Moore?s Law: Microelectronics and American Science

A number of historical and STS works in recent years have argued that there
were largescale changes in the organization of American and global science in
the two decades before and the two decades after the end of the Cold War -
that science became more entrepreneurial, more collaborative, more
interdisciplinary, more applied, and generally adapted to the neoliberal turn
in culture and politics. The paradigmatic cases for illustrating this
neoliberal turn have come from the life sciences. In The Long Arm of Moore's
Law I show that many of these changes directly or indirectly resulted from the
semiconductor industry's need to maintain the pace of miniaturization (and
hence innovation) in microelectronics. I present a series of case studies of
corporate, academic, and government research laboratories looking at: (failed)
attempts to accelerate Moore's Law though alternative electronics
technologies; new institutions bridging universities and industry that aimed
to respond to growing co
mpetition from Japan; and the effects of the migration of corporate
researchers into academia as the giant corporate labs of companies like AT&T
and IBM shrank.

The Squares: US Physical and Engineering Scientists in the Long 1970s

The late 1960s and early 1970s have drawn attention from historians of US
science for almost two decades now. Yet most of that literature has focused on
"groovy" countercultural and/or politically activist scientists on the left
and right, rather on "square" scientists who were politically ambivalent
and/or reticent. We also have, as yet, rather little understanding of how the
early 1970s turned into the late 1970s, and how the late '70s evolved into the
Reagan era. In my recent book, The Squares (MIT Press, 2022) I show that
square scientists were involved in many of the socially responsible activities
as their more outspoken colleages on the left - "socially responsible"
research to developed technologies for alternative energy, public housing,
public transport, pollution detection and remediation, assistive devices for
people with disabilities, delivering energy and medicine to remote (often poor
and minoritized) communities, etc. In today's language, the early 1970s were a
golden
age of Responsible Research and Innovation; and, indeed, the fields that make
up RRI today (including Technology Assessment and STS) came out of this
milieu. Yet after the energy crisis of 1973 and the recession of 1975, the
nation's changing political mood encouraged square scientists and engineers to
refocus on less radical topics, often in collaboration with industry. Thus,
the late 1970s saw a swing away from responsible innovation - something that
today's RRI rarely acknowledges is possible. This talk explores the reasons
why square scientists and engineers move toward and away from responsibility,
and the political and cultural circumstances that can encourage them in either
direction.

Cyrus Mody is an historian at Maastricht University of recent science and
technology, specifically the applied physical sciences in the United States
since 1965. His research studies the commercialization of academic research,
the longue dur?e of responsible research and innovation (RRI), and the
technopolitics of scarcity in the long 1970s. For 2020-2025, Prof. Mody is the
principal investigator for an NWO (Netherland Organisation for Scientific
Research) Vici grant, "Managing Scarcity and Sustainability: The Oil Industry,
Environmentalism, and Alternative Energy in the Age of Scarcity"
(https://managingscarcity.com/).
