Meeting Frankenstein\u2019s Companions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Tuesday 28 \u2013 Friday 31 May 2019<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Centre for Gender and Women\u2019s Studies<\/a> at Lancaster University, UK, in cooperation with the Department of Sociology<\/a>, Lancaster\u2019s Centre for Science Studies, and the Centre for the Study of Environmental Change<\/a> is pleased to announce its annual Summer School in Feminist Technoscience Studies. The theme is Meeting Frankenstein\u2019s Companions<\/em>. Born at the intersections of the bicentennial of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley\u2019s extraordinary science fabulation on germinations of life, and recent developments in transpecies affiliation, we will explore feminist science and technology studies across a range of topics related to matters of encounter, alterity, and more than human worlding.<\/span><\/p>\n

Delivered as a 4 day intensive summer school by a group of tutors and guest lecturers, this course includes a mixture of interactive workshops, lectures, film screenings and excursions.\u00a0 We will explore the ways in which feminists have engaged with questions of life, embodiment, and the Other in imaginaries and materialisations of technosciences and naturecultures. What counts as life and whose lives count?\u00a0 What relations of response-ability do we have for the sociotechnologies that increasingly become us?\u00a0 How do we research and do politics around practices of normativity and monstrosity, of making and taking life?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
