Seeking early-career scholars for a highly-interactive 1.5-day workshop to take place in the two days before the meeting of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) to be held in Honolulu, Hawaii.
==================================================
The Workshop will draw together journal editors from 4S-affiliated journals – Social Studies of Science; Science, Technology, & Human Values; East Asian Science and Technology Studies; Engaging Science, Technology and Society; Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience; Tapuya: Latin American Science, Technology, and Society (TBC); Science & Technology Studies (TBC) – and early-career scholars who are committed to contributing to the internationalization of the field and interested in publishing in English-language STS journals.
Participation is open to PhD students and early-career scholars who are up to five years post-PhD. Applications are particularly encouraged from students and scholars who are based at institutions in the Global South, however this is not a requirement for participation. The workshop will include sessions with the full group that allow students and early-career scholars to hear about the insights and experiences of journal editors, who are also senior scholars in the field, and to become aware of the projects that their peers are engaged in. It will also include small-group sessions in which attendees will receive feedback on a draft article manuscript from the journal editors and from their peers – a conversation that will continue after the workshop, as editors follow up on the progress of attendees and ongoing peer support is encouraged. Information-sharing and structured support, both during the workshop and following it, are designed to overcome well-known obstacles to PhD students and early-career scholars from the Global South in publishing in leading English-language journals in this and other fields.
Participants will be asked to submit a draft manuscript by 23 October 2023 to receive feedback on during the workshop. In preparing a submission, participants should keep in mind the types of manuscripts published by the seven 4S-affiliated journals. These include, for example, original research articles, substantial discussion papers, short research notes, and review essays.
