No reading required. Details and zoom link below. Apologies for cross-posting. Yours, Monika *December First Monday STSS Reading Group | An Online Mixer!* Our December meeting is an online mixer -- a chance to meet, meet again, and share what you're researching and reading, talk about what?s stoking your curiosity in STSS and S+T at UW. We'll have a round of introductions and several curiosity-stoking prompts/questions. The mixer will also be an opportunity to learn more about Society + Technology at UW and STSS, if you have questions about that. Our reading-focused programming will resume on January 5, 2026 with our next host, Pelle Tracey (Information, UW Seattle). Monika Sengul-Jones is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Do you speak Spanish? Are you available online at noon today? Even if you're only able to answer 'yes' to one of these questions, you'll likely find the new book, *Saberes, tecnolog?as y derecho en Am?rica Latina: perspectivas desde los estudios de ciencia, tecnolog?a y sociedad * (Ediciones Uniandes/Universidad de los Andes Press, 2025), edited by *Sebasti?n Rubiano-Galvis (*Law, Societies, and Justice, UW Seattle), intriguing. To celebrate the launch, Rubiano-Galvis is offering an online event with several commentators to discuss the topic, including *Mar?a Paula ?ngel,* a UW STSS, Law, and Tech Policy Lab alumna! ?ngel is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale Law School's Information Society Project, and Oscar Maldonado (a past 4S council member in 2016-2018) and Andrea Ballestero from USC. *Details:* *Thursday, December 4, at 12:00 p.m. PT / 3:00 p.m. Bogot? time* This YouTube link In the words of Rubiano-Galvis, "the book, recently included in Tapuya's Latin American STS book library , brings together chapters that explore how law, science, and technology intersect in Latin America. Drawing on STS concepts and questions, the book brings together chapters on Colombia, Chile, and Argentina that examine how technologies and expert knowledges are entangled with legal matters of regional relevance, such as human rights litigation, transitional justice, the war on drugs, urban crime, and environmental impact assessments, among others." Yours, Monika PS. Apologies for cross-posting. Also, please do use these listservs to make posts; you are all welcome to share news and event announcements directly with the list members.

Perhaps that warm feeling of experiencing life leap off email to touch my world is one of the reasons I like listservs and emails.* And they seem to work. I felt that when several of you introduced yourselves in person at Ada?s Technical Bookstore on Monday for Ryan Calo's wonderful talk on technology and law, you mentioned these posts and that was a moment when connections leaped off the list again. Thank you for reading and showing up. This is for you! That brings me to why I'm posting. I?d like to invite you to *Save the Date ? Monday, January 12, 2026, at 5:30 PM* at a *TBD location in the greater Seattle area* for a conversation and mixer on *Power and Paradox*, in honor of the first anniversary of the launch of Society + Technology at UW! There?s more to come, and that I get to write this feels like a hopeful, reassuring message to share as 2025 draws to a close. Yours, Monika www.societyandtechnology.uw.edu Do you know someone who might like this? Please do forward this so they can join the list. You can email me at *mmjones@uw.edu* to be added directly. And apologies for cross-posting! **S+T at UW has not yet created any social media presence using Instagram or LinkedIn, nor built out community channels with Slack, Discord, or Teams. Unless?are these things you'd want more of? I?d love to hear from you. Stay tuned for a survey :)* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

She?s included the details and a flyer below. What an engaging opportunity for students interested in urbanization and narratives! Not to mention the program is in Belo Horizonte, Brazil -- the first planned modern city. Yours, Monika ---------- Forwarded message --------- *New Study Abroad Program in Brazil* Through experiential and community-engaged learning, students will explore sustainable and equitable urban change in one of Brazil?s most innovative cities. Belo Horizonte is globally known for its participatory governance and urban policy successes. One week of the program will overlap with the Change Stories Fellowship. Students will collaborate on projects with professionals and activists from the USA and internationally who are actively shaping urban change. This study abroad is a unique combination of networking and learning with real-world impact in a global context. https://changestories.be.uw.edu/study-abroad/ Info session: 20 January 2026, noon to 1pm *Program dates: *June 14 - July 16, 2026 Please contact Helen Pineo, Research Associate Professor in Urban Design and Planning with questions (hspineo@uw.edu). *HELEN PINEO *(She/Her) Research Associate Professor Department of Urban Design and Planning Gould Hall, Box 355740 3590 University Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105 *hspineo@uw.edu * / *washington.edu * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Monday, Jan. 5, 2026 | 12:30 - 1:20 PM | Zoom link below We're reading: Birch, Kean. ?Do Artifacts Have Political Economy?? Science, Technology, & Human Values, SAGE Publications Inc, August 4, 2025, 01622439251352167. Https://doi.org/10.1177/01622439251352167 | Attached It's in conversation with science and technology studies political theorist Langdon Winner's influential 1980 article, "Do artifacts have politics?" (Spoiler: he argues they do, in two ways). In Pelle's words, here's why this matters now: "The relationship between political economy and technoscience is important for many present concerns. This is perhaps most obvious in the case of generative AI and the data center building boom, but also in other contexts. For instance, in my own work, the question of if/how proptech/landlordtech are impacting the housing crisis also involves the intersections of political economy and technoscience, in the interactions between landlords, developers, and platform companies." How do the political economies of artifacts matter to your research? Join us to discuss this, the article by Kean Birch, and more. Would you like a calendar invitation to this event? Email me to get on the list. *Apologies for cross-posting.* Yours, Monika (and on behalf of Leah) First Monday STSS Co-facilitators https://depts.washington.edu/stsst/first-monday/ www.societyandtechnology.uw.edu Monika Sengul-Jones is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Students learn about the cosmos through both Indigenous and Western lenses while examining the cultural impact of reclaiming traditional practices. The course interweaves Indigenous wisdom with modern astrophysics concepts. It's taught by Dr. Brittany Kamai, an Affiliate member of the Faculty at UW, an expert in the unique combination of both gravitational wave astrophysics and traditional Pacific Islander voyaging. The course is interactive and project-based, and has been one of our most popular offerings in the last two years we?ve offered it. Details: ? Tuesdays & Thursdays, 4:30?5:50pm ?
