New from Minnesota - Society for Social Studies of Science

Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) Annual Meeting 

From the 4S President 

Welcome to the 2011 annual meeting of the Society for Social 

Studies of Science (4S). This is our 36th annual meeting. This 

year we are gathering in Cleveland together with the Society 

for the History of Technology (SHOT) and History of Science 

Society (HSS) and we hope that everyone takes full advantage 

of this opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with 

colleagues in our affiliated societies. 

4S continues to go from strength to strength ‐ again, we have 

over one thousand participants. The richness and diversity of 

topics and presenters speaks to both the growth of our field 

since the inaugural meetings, as well as the global and multi‐ 

disciplinary nature of the scholars who have found a home 

here. This has meant that the programme chair, Roli Varma, 

has had to work extremely hard and creatively to 

accommodate as many papers as possible. And, as usual, Wes 

Shrum and Steve Coffee have done a sterling job of 

overseeing conference arrangements. 

Looking over this year's programme, I am particularly proud 

that members of our society are so engaged with the critical 

and vital questions of our time. From the global financial crisis 

to the nuclear disaster in Japan, our colleagues remain at the 

forefront of intellectual and political developments. I am


particularly pleased that our joint plenary with SHOT and HSS 

is on 'Dealing with Disasters: Perspectives on Fukushima from 

the History and Social Studies of Science and Technology.' 

Needless to say, the banquet will be a highlight of the event, 

as in previous years. In keeping with Cleveland's reputation 

for the rock'n'roll hall of fame, feel free to don rock'n'roll 

costumes. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing all of you at 

sessions, coffee breaks, and other gatherings at the meeting! 

‐‐Judy Wajcman


A Note from the Program Chair 

I extend thanks to the members of the program committee, 

Anita Say Chan, Gwen Ottinger, Selma Sabanovic, Jenny Leigh 

Smith, Janet Vertesi and Teun Zuiderent‐Jerak, for reviewing 

individual submissions in timely fashion; Shannon Bell, my 

graduate student assistant, for providing enormous help in 

editing submissions and scheduling sessions in rooms; Wes 

Shrum, who made the management of this meeting easier 

with his knowledge and accumulated experience of many 

previous meetings; Judy Wajcman, who trusted me in putting 

the program together; Wenda Bauchspies, who assembled 

the book exhibit for this meeting; Steve Coffee, who helped 

greatly with everything having to do with electronic 

communication, Technoscience, the 4S website, audiovisual 

equipment, printing the program, and more; Rick Peacor, who 

walked me through the software details to send emails, use 

online systems to manage submissions, and produce reports. 

Finally, I must thank the City Center Hotel staff, who were 

very professional and flexible in finding ways to meet the 

unique requirements of this meeting.

Digital Dead End 

Fighting for Social Justice in the Information Age 

Virginia Eubanks 

“If we’re to move forward as a society 

we’ll need to abandon many of the 

platitudes and utopian musings that 

characterize computerization and 

actually start doing the work that 

needs doing. This is what Virginia 

Eubanks lays out in Digital Dead End. 

Is she the Jane Addams of the digital 

age?” — Douglas Schuler, author of 

Liberating Voices: A Pattern Language 

for Communication Revolution

Entangled Geographies 

Empire and Technopolitics in the Global Cold War 

edited by Gabrielle Hecht 

“This collection of articles, bound 

together by the editor’s suggestive 

concept of technopolitics, refuses a 

hegemonic tradition that places the 

West, and U.S.–U.S.S.R. rivalry at the 

core of the Cold War.”

Naked Genes 

Reinventing the Human in the Molecular Age 

Helga Nowotny and Giuseppe Testa 

translated by Mitch Cohen 

“What is life? That ancient question 

has assumed new urgency as today’s 

genetic discoveries give us previously 

unimagined ways of looking into 

and manipulating the basic matter 

of life. In this path-breaking volume, 

Nowotny and Testa join forces to 

show why, in the era of genetic 

transparency, the question must still 

be asked—even though the answers, 

as they compellingly argue, are ever 

more likely to elude us.” — Sheila 

Jasanoff, Harvard University 

�� 

Surveillance or Security? 

The Risks Posed by New Wiretapping Technologies 

Susan Landau 

“Susan Landau has taken an exceptionally 

complex but vital subject and 

presented it in a clear and compelling 

way. The ability of a citizen to securely 

communicate with her peers lies at 

the heart of the rule of law. Landau 

demonstrates the necessity of 

protecting that right amidst the technological 

changes that can greatly 

alter the balance of power between 

citizens and governments.”

Susan Merrill Squier 

“A quirky mash of essays on 

chickens and the interplay 

of biology and culture that 

manages to blend all of 

Squier’s interdisciplinary 

interest. She ranges freely, 

from takes on chickens as 

subjects of photography and 

exhibition, playwriting, film, 

and children’s and other literature, to musings on such 

public-policy issues as risk management, the avian-flu 

scare, and the societal costs of industrial agriculture.”
