Mini STS PhD conference

Date: 9-10 December 2010 Time: 9:00-13:00

Venue: IAS Meeting Room 1

Mini STS Conference - Call for Papers

STS research in Lancaster is carried out in many different departments and disciplines. The aim of this conference is to provide a space for PhD students from these multi-disciplinary fields to present their research, receive feedback and learn about the variety of STS research that is carried out on their doorstep. This conference will provide post-graduate students an opportunity to engage with their STS peers, across disciplines, in a challenging and supportive environment.

In order to maximise feedback, accepted speakers are asked to prepare a paper prior to the conference which will be read by two members of faculty. Feedback from these two members and the audience will be given after the presentation on the basis of the submitted paper and the given presentation. Each presenter will be given 20 minutes for presentation and 15 minutes for discussion.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:

Dr Claire Waterton,

Senior Lecturer, Department of Sociology Director, Centre for the Study of Environmental Change, Lancaster University
