An international workshop to be held in Trondheim, Norway, 5-7 August 2010
This workshop focuses on the intersection of STS and environmental history, paying particular attention to how conceptual tools, approaches, and insights from science and technology studies might enrich historical studies of interactions between humanity and the natural world. We aim to bring together a variety of international scholars, primarily environmental historians but also historically-minded sociologists, ethnographers, and anthropologists to consider how, for instance, the social construction of science, public understanding of science, actor-network theory, and technological systems can be used in historical studies of human-natural interactions. Participants will present papers that develop specific empirical case studies while also being explicitly reflective about the STS methodological basis and theoretical contributions of that study.
