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