Are there any #scienceAndTechnologyStudies people here? I'm looking for the history of the terms "doing science"/doing culture etc. I know it's Latour (did he ever use the term himself?), constructivism, doinggender, performativity, etc, but I can't find a source that elaborates on the development of this term. Does anyone have pointers where to look? I spent most of my work day looking through sociology and sts books and papers...

📢 Celebrating that "Caring for Methods: 'Care-Ful Method Practice' through Methodography" by @i_ngli & I has been published today! 🎉
📖 In the chapter we advocate for methodography as a genre of care-ful interrogation of method practice in #STSethnography.
📙 The chapter is part of a beautiful collection concerning "Ethical and Methodological Dilemmas in Social Science Interventions" edited by @DorisLinnea & Niels Christian Mossfeldt Nickelsen.
We are hosting a panel in the #STSGraz24 conference's #OpenScience Track: "Hack the Hackathon: Challenges of Inclusion, Participation, and Fairness.
The conference is taking place May 6 - 8 2024 and, of course, in Graz, Austria.
You can find our call for abstracts (and others) here: https://stsconf.tugraz.at/calls/sessions-in-open-science/
Hi @stsing, have spent the evening on scrutinising @stsing draft for the #stsingCodeOfConduct. This is an exciting read. Key issue for me: will we get at a version in which a non-stsing member can get into action the stsing ombudsgroup to investigate #AbuseofPower by an #stsing member against a nonmember?

Asking #DigitalHumanities scholars or social scientists working w/ the internet...
I've been a #solarpunk for a while now, but how would I do research on the community itself? I want a "vibe check" on what people are talking about, the sorts of arguments we tend to have, what texts/theories/people we canonize. I follow a lot of folks, but that's a mix of my interests+auto recommendations. Any way to get a view driven by my research questions, not The Algorithm?
A first question: what do you want your research to produce? Tentatively, I would look into ethnographic methods. But much more openly: start with documenting specific observations, documents, toots, etc. That material should support you in making distinctions between your hunches vs what you can observe in others' interactions. Allow surprise about what you find.
Yes, you're right, #STS#ScienceAndTechnologyStudies is a great field to ask too. Especially because in this case, I'm specifically looking for attitudes towards/discussions of technology.
Questions like: how do we (solarpunks) theorize the relationship between tech and society? What sorts of tech do we think count as "solarpunk" and why? What sort of responses do we have against those who say tech itself is the problem? What is redeemable & even radical about tech?
my work explores the role of digital data, methods and infrastructures in the composition of collective life.
i'm currently focusing on...
📘 a book on public data practices
🌳 arts-based digital methods for exploring environmental issues
🐌 a special issue on critical technical practices in digital research
🗃 documenting online mobilisations of east and southeast asian communities in the uk
i'm senior lecturer in critical infrastructure studies at the department of digital humanities, king's college london; cofounder of publicdatalab.org; and research associate at digitalmethods.net + medialab.sciencespo.fr.
