Presentation of the Catalan Association of Science and Technology Studies
Description:
Researchers from different universities and research centres in Catalonia, including the UAB, have created the Catalan Association of Science and Technology Studies (STS-CAT). The official presentation will take place on 28 February at 9:30 a.m. at the Barcelona Research Residence.
The presentation will feature an inaugural lecture by Wiebe E. Bijker, lecturer and researcher at the University of Maastricht and advisor to the Dutch government as an expert on the relationship between democracy and technology. Biojker is one of the fathers of international Science and Technology Studies and one of the main exponents of the Theory on the Social Construction of Technologies. The engineer, philosopher and PhD in Sociology and History of Technology from the University of Twente (The Netherlands), studies the relationship between the development of technology and society, and how the emergence of new technologies impacts on democracy and can lead to the emergence of a new social order.
