Current Generativities in Feminist, Antiracist, and Decolonial STS
Abstract:
These are exciting times for feminist, antiracist, and decolonial engagements with science and technology. As we make our way through this uncertain post/pandemic period, there is a particular urgency to these volatile intersections of science, technology, and society, and this is fostering a rich environment for intersectionally-oriented scholarship in the interdiscipline of STS. In this talk, I chart out an articulation of the state of the field of feminist, antiracist, and decolonial STS. I do this by drawing on examples from my own wide-ranging research – on new feminist articulations of embodiment, on racial health disparities in the contemporary United States, on new efforts to build pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity in Africa – and also by drawing on insights gained through serving as an editor at BioSocieties and as a member of the lead editorial team of Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience. I hope that this offers both sources of inspiration in dark times and itineraries for practices of hope for our field.
