Abuses of power, #MeTooSTS and how #WeDoSTS? | Doing Science and Technology Studies in and through Germany …concerning current debates of reported harassment and abuse within the community of STS scholars.

And here is some background from #stsing on #WeDoSTS and #MeTooSTS:

2) stsing.org/keep-the-met...

3) Case examples (#STS in headline): www.netzwerk-mawi.de/en/case-exam...

There will be a panel at Hashtag#EASST4S2024 with it's own merch 😀 More importantly though, it concerns all of us & the way we want to work together. Wednesday from 16-17:30, we will discuss on how to transform STS via Hashtag#WeDoSTS. Stickers are available exclusively off campus, bigger bulks available for anyone who wants to distribute them at their home institutions. Respond here, find me there, ask someone who knows someone. You & the sticker(s) will find each other! Hashtag#WeDoSTS

Maybe we came across some #WeDoSTS stickers at #easst4s2024…

…maybe just ask us about them…

Further highlights include two important panels with Julie Mewes as organizer and/or discussant.

On Wednesday July 17th from 4pm there is the #WeDoSTS panel (with stickers!!!!), and on the last conference day, Friday, Julie and colleagues are discussing #citizenscience.

Maybe none of these examples seem particularly shocking or "unimaginable". But it is precisely because this may appear so mundane, so "imaginable" that academia has a problem with abuses of power. #sts #WeDoSTS #ichbinHanna #ichbinTina
