Launched in 2008, the Technoscience Salon is an open forum for entangling intellectual and political questions about technoscience while remixing the disciplines composing Science and Technology Studies. Meeting monthly, the Salon aims to create a lively community of thinkers with interests in technoscience studies from around the GTA and beyond.
Drawing participants from multiple universities as well as artistic and technical communities, the Salon aspires to prompt playful and experimental engagements, as well as new collaborations and conversations.
The Salon is currently in its fifth season. The 2012-13 Salon is organized by Michelle Murphy (UofT), Natasha Myers (York), and Astrid Schrader (York).
We are funded by the Toronto Node of the SSHRC Situating Science Research Cluster Grant
