El Centro Ciencia y Pensamiento de la UNSAM invita a participar del encuentro HECHOS, DATOS, DECISIONES: LA DIMENSIÓN TECNOLÓGICA DEL CRUCE PANDEMIA-SOCIEDAD

La pandemia como acontecimiento histórico social convocó, para su atención, un conjunto de saberes técnicos y sociales heterogéneos. Entre ellos, los vinculados a la ciencia y al desarrollo tecnológico.

Las posibilidades de medición y seguimiento de grandes poblaciones hoy son inéditas, lo cual las coloca en el centro de los debates sobre la privacidad, la seguridad y el control social.

El eje del diálogo con los especialistas será la actualidad y las potencialidades de la cuantificación computacional de los hechos, la visualización de datos y sus efectos sociales.

▪️ Participan: Daniel de Florian, Ezequiel Álvarez, Germán Rosati
▪️ Modera: Micaela Cuesta

Fusion Research Through the Eyes of Social Scientists and Humanities Scholars

For over 70 years the promise of controlled nuclear fusion as a source of clean energy has occupied the minds of scientists, policy makers and the public. The 1920 idea that the Sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium sparked the dream of humanity learning to replicate this process on Earth. The enthusiasm of an Argentinian president about a nuclear fusion experiment created a nuclear fusion hype in 1951. This experiment proved flawed, but interest in the topic was aroused and nuclear fusion research launched.

About this event

Please join us for the #AusSTS2021 keynote conversation event with Prof Kane Race and A/Prof Anne Galloway, chaired by Dr Kiran Pienaar.

This moderated conversation event on ‘Embodied Engagements’ features two prominent STS researchers whose work uniquely engages with the workshop theme of situated practice. The discussion will touch on topics such as:

• How we situate ourselves in relation to our objects of study
• Methods for enacting situated practices of research
• The role of ‘place’ in orienting research (especially in the context of the settler-colonies of Australia and Aoteroa New Zealand)
• And how an attentiveness to ‘situatedness’ might also help us to build better practices of care
