Diffracting the Critical

Science & Technology Studies (STS) has become a recognized, delineated academic field in the international research landscape. To strengthen the interconnectedness of STS in Germany, the STS Hub has been organized – a conference series that brought together German organizations, labs, and research groups that are more or less closely related to STS. This year's STS Hub, titled »Diffracting the Critical« was an opportunity to collectively explore contemporary formations of critique in and with STS along three thematic clusters: ecologies & infrastructures, scales & temporalities, collaborations & solidarities. The registration is already closed.

The conference was organized by Ignacio Farías, Anke Gruendel, Sandra Jasper, Maxime Le Calvé, Claudia Mareis, and Robert Stock, among others.

Many MoA Cluster members such as Dimitra Almpani-Lekka, Michaela Büsse, Judith Marlen Dobler, Heidi Jalkh, Rahel Kesselring, Yoonha Kim, Léa Perraudin, Thomas Picht, Iva Rešetar, Chris Salter, Paula Schuster, Emma Sicher, Nayeli Vega Vargas, Rasa Weber, Babette Werner, and Clemens Winkler contributed in a variety of panels and the exhibition »Drift. Sink. Emerge. Repeat. Diffracting the Critical through Multimodal Submersions«.
