Please share widely!* Hey everyone, It's raincoat season, and there are several S+T at UW salons scheduled for this time of year.

For instance, on Tuesday, Olivia Banner (CREATE, Disability Studies, UW Seattle) will discuss her new book, Crip Screens: Countering Psychiatric Media Technologies (Duke) -- from what I've read so far, her work grapples with the ways that technological innovations became solutions to crises of scientific authority.

This will be a conversation between Banner and Nassim Parvin (Information, UW Seattle), co-editor of the new book Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen (Duke) While on Thursday, Calo, Ceccarelli, and Reinecke will present the range of perspectives in their respective new books, Law and Technology: A Methodological Approach (Oxford), Scientists, Politics, and the Rhetoric of Public Controversy (Palgrave Macmillan) and Digital Culture Shock: Who Creates Technology and Why This Matters (Princeton) answering to questions about how technologies and expert authority are disorienting -- to designers, engineers, scientists, users, and policy makers -- and ways to reorient.

While the time and location of the next First Monday STSS meeting remain the same ? Mon., Nov. 3, 2025, from 12:30 to 1:25 PM [Online] ? our next host, Kelly Olenyik (HCDE, UW Seattle), has designed an interactive reading group activity for us (lucky us!). Change is fun! If you haven't attended First Monday in a while, or at all, you might consider this one. Kelly invites us to read *into* and *with* Bruno Latour?s 2019 essay ??We Don?t Seem to Live on the Same Planet?: A Fictional Planetarium.? (Download ). This piece is an imaginative text that asks how we might orient ourselves ? and one another ? in new ways. To do this orienting work, Kelly is asking for volunteers to be ?planetary guides." For example, Kelly suggests you might email her and say: ?Hey Kelly, I?d be willing to be the *Planet Security* guide because I love all things Foucault,? or ?Give me *Planet Vindication* because I?ve been thinking about Indigenous studies and STS lately.? *Email Kelly by or before Sunday, Nov. 2 at olen@uw.edu to claim your orbit.* Looking forward to the trajectories of our planetary circles and where we go. Hat tip to Kelly for the innovation. Would you like to host First Monday? Email me soon to claim the December spot!
