@stsing @easst Yes, there will be a panel at #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 #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! #WeDoSTS @easst

Just read an inspiring letter asking how we make #WeDoSTS visible at #EASST4S24 #easst2024 #4s2024. Any ideas, dear @sts friends? Stickers, postcards, t-shirts? How can #STS be supported in engaging with #WeDoSTS and #MeTooSTS?

📢 Time flies, but our pre-print short report about the Open Forum #WeDoSTS during the 1st STS-hub.de 2023 is out.

In this event we collectively engaged with questions of power and its abuse in STS & beyond. STS has the potential to critically analyze relations & distributions of power, including abuses and struggles within itself.

Report: Open Forum #WeDoSTS: Fighting Abuses of Power in STS
During the 1st STS-hub.de 2023, RWTH Aachen, 15-17 March 2023
Authors: Julie Sascia Mewes, Claudia Gertraud Schwarz, Ingmar Lippert
Abstract: During the Open Forum #WeDoSTS, we
invited our academic community to collectively engage with questions of power and its abuse in our own field and wider academia. We set out from the assumption that STS has the potential to critically analyze relations and distributions of power, including abuses and struggles within STS itself. By reflexively applying the lessons of such studies on itself, STS might become a vital force in fighting the abuse of power in  academia and other hierarchical societal structures. While the Open Forum focused on the structures and infrastructures of STS within German academia, abuse of power in academic 
settings is a global problem that therefore needs to be tackled in transnational collaborations. 
We ask (but cannot answer conclusively here): What are problematic patterns of power distribution and what reconfigurations of our ethos, practices, and infrastructures are needed to counter unbalanced power dynamics inscribed in our systems, and to prefigure and create more just structures? 
Why do we need #WeDoSTS nowTransforming STS via #WeDoSTS. Combined Format Open Panel P265 at conference EASST-4S 2024 Amsterdam: Making and Doing Transformations.

Convenors:Claudia Gertraud Schwarz (Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences), Lee Vinsel (Virginia Tech), Julie Sascia Mewes (University of Technology Chemnitz), Ingmar Lippert (Goethe University Frankfurt)

Format:
    Combined Format Open Panel 
Sessions:
    Wednesday 17 July, 16:00-17:30

Short Abstract:
The label #WeDoSTS stands for transformative ways of embodying radical reflexivity and scientific integrity in STS, so that everyone can flourish in our field. This panel welcomes contributions and activities that study and/or situate themselves within the ongoing #WeDoSTS movement.

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 @sts @stsing

@stsing@assemblag.es @sts @stsing@a.gup.pe remember the stsing collab with the network against abuses of power in the sciences? They have now published 4 anonymized reports on abuses of power in #STS on their website. #WeDoSTS

Dear all, could someone help out finding out how many times and by how many users the #MeTooSTS and the #WeDoSTS has been used in Twitter/X and here? Thanks!!!

Glad to see our report on a panel on digital methods my colleagues Frauke Rohden, Silvia Lysgård and I co-organised during the last NordicSTS conference was published in EASST Review today.

In the report, we discuss care-full modes of engagement with and through digital methods and how panel convenors can foster dialogue and diversity in digital ethnographic methods (and elsewhere).

Caring for methods – Fostering dialogue and diversity in digital ethnographic methods
EASST Review: Volume 42(2) December 2023
by Frauke Rohden, Julie Sascia Mewes, Sylvia Irene Lysgård

Summary
Drawing on our experience of conceptualising, curating, and organising a panel on possible futures for digital ethnographic methods for the Nordic STS conference 2023, we argue that careful organisation is a viable approach to fostering dialogue in academic knowledge production. We identify three modes of care as particularly relevant for facilitating academic exchange among a diverse group of participants.

Considering the organisation of panels as care work provides insights into the practicalities of creating more diverse spaces for knowledge exchange and inspiration. Using the lens of care work to reflect on our experiences of organising the panel has given us insights into the behind-the-scenes work required for fruitful exchange and into caring for methods by way of providing collaborative and diverse spaces for discussion.

📢 Coding the future of how we do STS in Germany! 🗓️

Emerging from discussions within and beyond the stsing Working Group "Best practices", a code of conduct drafting initiative has successfully mobilised support at the recent General Assembly, providing us with the mandate to draft a code of conduct.

We invite you, #stsing members and beyond, to join the drafting process! Our kick-off is TODAY, 15/06/23, 14:45 to 16:15 online.

With inputs by

Fanny Oehme for the German Research Ombudsman who together with her colleagues "advises researchers on issues of good scientific practice.

Claudia Gertraud Schwarz-Plaschg is who recently spoke out publicly about her experiences of harassment, sex discrimination, and
abuses of power within the STS community. She mobilizes the hashtags #MeTooSTS and #WeDoSTS to
raise awareness and generate collective action against this problematic status
quo—and she wants you to join her!

Important part of #STShubDe:
#WeDoSTS an initiative to collectively address questions of power within #STS. Opened by Julie Mewes:b"Reflexively, we embrace STS’s potential
to critically analyse relations and distributions of power, including abuse and
struggles, within STS itself."

Next on the agenda is #WeDoSTS at the #STShubDe Conference in Aachen. Invited speakers will talk about the problem of power abuse in academy.

On to the second day of the #STShubDe, starting for me with a session on #enviromental #STS, continuing later with a session on #Critical #Data & #SoftwareStudies, giving a paper based on a theoretical sociological analysis of concepts of ontology, illustrated by my data on #datapractices in #EnvironmentalManagement. Before the subsequent keynote by #SusannWagenknecht on leakage, and the Open Forum #WeDoSTS.

On my way to Aachen to #STShubDe 🛤️ Super excited to meet many estimated fellow STSers again. Also looking forward to a total of five events, I will be involved in including our panel dealing with working and research conditions in academia, my talk on academic working hours and timing devices, an ethnographic roundtable discussion, two @stsing related get-togethers and, last but not least, the open forum about #WeDoSTS. 💪 #sts #stsethnography #ichbinhanna
