Welcome to the website for the ST Global Consortium and the Science & Technology in Society conference.

The emerging fields of Science and Technology Policy (STP) and Science and Technology Studies (STS) have become prominent disciplines in recent years. The increasing prevalence of technology issues - in governmental policies and the public eye - demands a workforce equipped with the tools and training necessary to negotiate these complex relationships. Though often from different perspectives, STS and STP deal with many of the same issues. Traditionally, however, there has been little communication between the two. Thus, the main purpose of the Conference is to bridge that divide and provide a forum for networking, bringing together graduate students from historically fragmented communities to learn from one another. We hope the event will add value to students' research and writing, and contribute important new ideas to the most pressing S&T challenges of the day.

This year the Science & Technology in Society conference will be held:

April 5 - 6, 2008
AAAS Headquarters, 2nd Floor
1200 New York Avenue, NW
