Event overview
The CISP Salon extends its exploration of what it means to “think with care” in Science and Technology Studies. Building on an understanding of care as an embodied, sociomaterial practice (Puig de la Bellacasa, 2017), we will meet this year to further examine the politics of care in a variety of empirical settings, as well as identify different research methods that might be used to trace and analyse these contested knowledge practices.
Following on from the first salon, which explored Isabelle Stenger’s concept of “ecologies of practices” in relation to Michelle Murphy’s call for “a vexation of care”, we will develop our critical engagement with care through Kane Race’s empirical account of “queer chemistry” and ask reflexively what it means to queer care in our own practices as scholars of science and technology.
