Hi everyone,
This is just a (last-minute) reminder that we are still welcoming submissions
to our panel on Diffractive STS Pedagogies at STS Hub 2025
(https://sts-hub.de/25/).
Convenor(s): Nadine Osbild, Bernhard Isopp
Abstract: Science and Technology Studies has a track-record of critically
engaging with science and engineering pedagogies, but only relatively recently
has STS's own approaches to teaching become an area of extended critical
attention. This panel aims to diffract how we teach and communicate STS
knowledge: Inspired by Barad's (2007) notion of reading diffractively, it
wants to start a conversation on concepts and methods of diffractive STS
teaching. Drawing on sensibilities from feminist STS, and new materialist
pedagogies, we understand diffractive STS pedagogies to actively teach through
socio- and spatio-material contexts, diffracting the dissemination and making
of STS knowledge as an assemblage of material objects, spaces, practices, and
social relations. We welcome all contributions that:
- engage with creative, exploratory, and interventionist teaching
approaches that conceptualize teaching as an intra-active process of knowledge
creation
- shed light on institutionally and materially engrained power dynamics,
and inequalities in STS teaching
- explore the way in which STS teaching intervenes in and negotiates both
the field's and/or the individual STS teacher's and student's own critical
voice in the classroom
- and/or otherwise critically engage with STS pedagogies through a
diffractive lens
We invite both conceptual explorations of diffractive STS pedagogies and
empirical insights from your own teaching experiences.
Please send your submissions to Nadine
nadine.osbild@tum.de or Bernhard
bernhard.isopp@tum.de by October 31, 2024.
Kind regards,
Nadine and Bernhard
