Together with colleagues from the University of Gothenburg, Lisa Lind\u00e9n from CSS is co-organising the session <em>Care in STS \u2013 Objects, Transformations and Politics<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It is the largest session at the conference with slots running during both days and with a total of 18 presentations. Andy Yuille (Lancaster University) will give a talk on \u201cContradictory Cares in Community-led Planning\u201d, and Lisa will give a talk on \u201cMobilising for Change: Patients\u2019 groups, care and affective tensions\u201d. Li-Wen Shih from the Graduate Institute of Humanities in Medicine at Taipei Medical University and one of CSS\u2019s former PhD students will also be presenting. She will talk about \u201cMatters of care in childbirth\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Taking up recent years\u2019 discussion on care in STS, the session will approach care as a material and political doing, and as an \u201caffectively charged and selective mode of attention\u201d (Martin et al. 2015: 635). In the process of cherishing some things, care also excludes others. Following up on this, in the session we will think through the possibilities and problems of care as a topic for STS research. What is gained from studying practices as care practices and what is lost? What is made present and what is made absent? When and where is it fruitful to think about science and technology as matters of care?<\/p>\n<p>At the conference, there will be presentations on, just to mention a few examples, tensions between care and control in midwifery practice, caring for the home in the planning of the sustainable city, \u201cdata care\u201d and its politics in scientific data management, everyday food practices as multiple relations of care and relations between matters of care and economic matters.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going to be a great session and conference!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested, you can find more info about the conference here: <a href=\"https:\/\/events.uta.fi\/nordicsts2019\/\">https:\/\/events.uta.fi\/nordicsts2019\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 13th-14th 2019, the binary Nordic STS Conference will be held in Tampere, Finland.
