| | | | |

| − | intended to be a self-organized /user-generated
| |
| − | non-conference. All attendees are encouraged to present or

| |
| − | minute informal presentations, with lots of time for

| | | | |
| − | Purpose of the Meeting: There is a growing interest in the
| + | * [[Annotations Timeline]] |
| − | history, philosophy, sociology, and strategic futures of
| |
| − | science and technology. In Europe, US, Latin America, and

| − | Japan, there are scholarly associations and regular meetings
| |
| − | of societies for disciplines such as the History and
| |
| − | Philosophy of Science; Science and Technology Studies,

| − | advocacy in various fields relating to the social aspects of
| |
| − | science and technology. These conversational spaces for
| |
| − | informal discussion are intended not to consolidate but to
| |
| − | broaden this existing landscape, and to connect
| |
| − | "technoscience" scholars based in India with those based
| |
| − | elsewhere.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Desired Outcomes: Enhancement of networks among scholars
| + | * [[Postcolonial Techno-Science]] |
| − | based in various parts of India and elsewhere. [This
| |
| − | meeting is not a policy-oriented or institutionally-bound
| |
| − | event; thus there is no intention of producing
| |
| − | policy-oriented documents. However, breakout sessions and
| |
| − | specialized interest groups may form, out of which a variety
| |
| − | of reseach projects may grow. ]
