HYDROUS - STS & the ARTS Read Shifts in Governance


Dear Readers. Today I want to announce an event I'm organizing in Rotterdam on August 21, 2008. H Y D R O U S is a side even held in conjunction with the bi-annal meetings of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) and the European Association for Social Science and Technology. HYDROUS is conceived as an occasion for sharing the ideas and techniques of scholars and artists working at the intersection of STS and water governance. Our aim is to gather together and contribute to the formation of what is now a nascent zone of sts research and artistic practice. The event is free and open to 4S/EASST participants and the public. Hydrous will be held in the performance spaces of V2 - Institute for Unstable Media, Rotterdam central. Further details will be distributed in and around the main EASST conference venue and the city of Rotterdam. Inquiries may be directed to Katie Vann [katie.vann@vks.knaw.nl]
