Dear all,
We’re excited to share the 2025 schedule for the SPT Maintenance and
Philosophy of Technology special interest group. This is a virtual lecture
series devoted to exploring the connections between maintenance and repair
studies and philosophy of technology. All lectures will be held on Zoom and
include a talk by a guest speaker followed by discussion. If you would like
to join the mailing list, send me an email at mark@markthomasyoung.net.
Links are circulated through the mailing list a week in advance of each
talk.
Best,
Mark
