STS-SJD Workshop—Disciplinary Encounters at the Crossroads of Law & STSMay 5-6, 2021, 10:00am-3:00pm
AbstractThis unique, interdisciplinary workshop brings together early-career scholars from law and science, technology, and society (STS) to present their research projects and receive feedback from senior faculty in both disciplines.
