The Science, Knowledge, and Technology (SKAT) Workshop gathers social scientists interested in how science, knowledge, and technology are created, distributed, drawn upon, and collectively understood. The workshop brings together diverse theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches to the social studies of SKAT, including the sociology of expertise, the sociology of professions, organizational analysis, actor-network theory, medical sociology, and science studies. The workshop is primarily designed to assist advanced graduate students with their ongoing research projects. We aim to provide a supportive environment offering feedback and advice on all aspects of academic work, from devising and conducting research to producing written texts (grant applications, dissertation proposals, and publications).
The workshop meets on a weekly basis in Knox Hall and/or on Zoom. If you would like to be added to the email list, and to receive the paper (and the Zoom link) circulated the week prior to each meeting, please send a message to workshop coordinators Liza Sheremet ([email protected]) and Yanze Yu ([email protected]).
