As controversies surrounding health disparities, algorithmic discrimination, and environmental injustices continue to raise questions about the epistemological and material conditions of racialized logics, inequalities, and exclusions, it is time to have an open conversation about strategies and best practices for developing anti-racist research and pedagogy in the interdisciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). Please join us for a roundtable discussion among leading scholars as they reflect on their experiences conducting and communicating anti-racist research. After addressing an initial series of questions about research ethics and methods, pedagogy, public scholarship, and “the STS canon,” our speakers will be invited to respond to additional questions and comments from the audience. We intend this event to be part of an ongoing conversation about engaged research, responsible scholarship, and the potential role of technoscience in constructing anti-racist futures. 

Participants:

• Rayvon Fouché, professor of American studies, Purdue University
• Juno Salazar Parreñas, assistant professor of science and technology studies and feminist, gender, and sexuality studies, Cornell University
• Anthony Ryan Hatch, associate professor of science in society, Wesleyan University
• Beth Semel, postdoctoral associate in anthropology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Moderator: Ellen Abrams, Humanities Scholars Program Postdoctoral Fellow, Cornell University

Sponsored by the Humanities Scholars Program, Department of Science and Technology Studies Anti-Racist Working Group, and the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly
