CITO: STS Community Making with Cassidy R. Sugimoto and Rob Kitchin


Listen Later

The STS Ireland unconference of 25 June 2024.

Welcome by Kalpana Shankar

Professor Cassidy R. Sugimoto, chair of the School of Public Policy at Georgia Institute of Technology and Professor Rob Kitchin from the Social Sciences Institute at Maynooth University.

(the unconference was held at the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI), St Stephen’s Green South, Dublin.)


Why an unconference? An unconference is an event where the attendees help set the agenda and content. Rather than papers and panels, we want to use this opportunity to foster networking and discussion.


The goal of this inaugural event was to acknowledge the specificities but also international connections/reach of STS (and the general implications of scientific research and policy here in Ireland) and bring researchers together for networking from different institutional and disciplinary homes. The unconference format included panel talks and small-group discussions to explore various facets of the socio-cultural study of technology, science, and medicine.
