A new program, Society + Technology at UW, now has a web presence that highlights STSS.
Society + Technology at UW’s website and programming aim to showcase the tremendous work happening across UW’s campuses in the areas of society and technology. As part of this effort, Society + Technology at UW has established an Affiliates network, featuring faculty and research groups from various campuses.
Faculty involved in or engaged with STSS, STS at UW Bothell, and the field of science and technology studies at UW Tacoma are among the Affiliates.
The Affiliates network also includes research centers and technologists at UW who are using and developing emerging technologies to address complex social problems.
One way Affiliates can learn more about each other’s work is through the Conversations in Society + Technology interview series, which features discussions with experts from the Affiliate network about emerging technologies and their societal impacts.
The first conversation is an interview with STSS Director Leah Ceccarelli.
The program launched last spring as the outcome of a presidential task force led by Ryan Calo. The leadership team also includes STSS Director Leah Ceccarelli, a professor in Communication, and Monika Sengul-Jones, who co-facilitates with Ceccarelli the First Monday STSS reading group and advances STSS intellectual life through programming and content design.
