Science, Technology & Society Studies is fast emerging as an important field of interdisciplinary research. It draws not only form different disciplines in social sciences, bur also from emerging science and technology disciplines. Young scholars who are pursuing PhD projects in STSS often find themselves in relative intellectual isolation with disparate discourse links in their respective institutional environs. This is further accentuated by the fact that space available for intellectual and academic discourse on the relevant themes is quite inadequate within existing professional societies and journals. The workshop intends to break such barriers and provide an academic and professional platform for interaction and debate by bringing together young STSS researchers in one place from different institutions in India. The idea of instituting an annual workshop for PhD students in STSS emerged from a discussion among a group of scholars involved in teaching and research on the subject over the last two decades. The workshop is quite similar to summer/winter schools on specialized themes organized by various institutions and bodies both in India and abroad. The idea is to bring together young scholars in STSS pursuing PhD projects in different Indian universities and institutions to interact and discuss their research problems, theoretical and empirical frameworks and methodological questions with the faculty for three days.
