Event overview
The CISP Salon extends its exploration of what it means to 鈥渢hink with care鈥� 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鈥檚 concept of 鈥渆cologies of practices鈥� in relation to Michelle Murphy鈥檚 call for 鈥渁 vexation of care鈥�, we will develop our critical engagement with care through Kane Race鈥檚 empirical account of 鈥渜ueer chemistry鈥� and ask reflexively what it means to queer care in our own practices as scholars of science and technology.
