[Ssnet_list] It's 2025! | First Monday STSS's new time | S+T Kick-Off Details | Bioethics and Genetics Salons

[Monika Sengul-Jones via Ssnet_list]

Hi everyone,

Is it too far into January to keep the out-of-office autoreply wishing you
a Happy New Year? Honestly, I'm still relishing the
reflective-intention-setting-novel-reading-hibernation-mode, with a side of
Almond Roca, but 2025 has other plans for me--and maybe you, too.

*1) Happening Today at 10:30 am | First Monday STSS Reading Group*
We have a new time for the First Monday STSS Reading Group this quarter,
co-facilitated by Monika Sengul-Jones and Leah Ceccarelli from 10:30 am to
11:20 am. Join us for a conversation about impact hosted by Dan Tibble
(Bioethics & Humanities).

Inaugural Convening this Friday, Jan. 10 from 9 am to 12:30 pm at the

The event marks the launch of the new initiative and will begin with
remarks from President Ana Mari Cauce and Provost Tricia Serio, as Society
+ Technology at UW is an outgrowth of the 2021-22 President and Provost
Task Force on Technology and Society. The event will feature several
affiliated researchers involved in STSS, including Leah Ceccarelli,
director of the STSS Graduate Certificate Program and a member of the S+T
leadership team, as well as Amy Hinterberger, Chair of the Department of
Bioethics and Humanities in the School of Medicine.

The kick-off will be a special opportunity to meet colleagues in person at
the UW’s Center for Urban Horticulture on Union Bay, approximately 1.1
miles east of the UW Seattle campus, and includes breakfast and a light
fare reception.

The event is co-sponsored by the Tech Policy Lab with support from the
Office of the Provost.

It’s free to attend, however registration is required. Learn more and
register.

*3) New Salon Series Launches Next Week with First Events on Genetics and
Bioethics, from STS Perspectives*

This is exciting. This January 2025, Society + Technology at UW is
launching an online Salon Series. The first two conversations, taking place
on January 13 and 14, will prominently feature scholars from our UW STSS
community at UW Tacoma, UW Bothell, UW Seattle, and the School of Medicine.
These sessions will be intimate, emergent discussions about genetics and
bioethics, drawing on concepts from STS.

<https://depts.washington.edu/societytech/wordpress/community-programs/>,

to recognize and honor live, arranged encounters as a meeting of the
minds, to give greater visibility to the S+T network, and to cultivate
intellectual conditions for deeper collaborations.

So many wonderful events and convenings! The best part of my 2024 was
getting to know all of you better, thanks for your curiosity.

Monika
