Hi everyone,

Change is around the corner.

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
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uUAE6lQsmiDHW_54l9lYGE5Bsz5McF8Y/view?usp=sharing>).


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 at uw.edu <olen at 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!

Yours,
Monika
