About WeAreSTS

Each REGULAR episode explores research or teaching themes that are part of Science and Technology Studies (STS). Some episodes will be interviews about active research projects. Other episodes will support STS subjects in teaching or public engagement.

In our CAREER episodes, we interview STS alumni about life after university: how did they make that transition into their working life, and what advice do they have for those thinking about studying with us.

BONUS episodes will showcase student-produced projects. Others will deliver episodes on special topics, or they'll allow listens into our expert discussions about topics as diverse as science policy making, science in the media, philosophy of information, history of dinosaurs, sociology of science, and history of technology.

WeAreSTS is available for listening on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Stitcher, SoundCloud and most other podcast listening apps. You also can find us on Libsyn.
