AusSTS Graduate Network | Deakin Science and Society Network

The SSN supports the Australasian STS Network (AusSTS), a network led by early career researchers and postgraduate students in Science and Technology Studies (STS). The network was established in late 2017 by a group of STS PhDs and ECRs in Melbourne, Australia.

AusSTS hosts social, professional and academic events to support ECRs and PhDs to create a community in STS across Australia.

To join the AusSTS Network mailing list and receive updates about events and activities, signup to our Google group Australasian STS Grad Network (AusSTS) and follow us on Twitter @AusSTSgrad
