Call for Exhibitors

The Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) is the oldest and largest scholarly association devoted to studying science, technology and society with over 1500 members worldwide. 4S is pleased to be meeting with the Japanese Society for Science and Technology Studies and it will be the first 4S annual meeting in Asia. This meeting will strengthen the STS network worldwide by bringing together scholars from around the globe who may not normally have the chance to meet.

Members of this organization include

• scholars in anthropology, economics, education, history, philosophy, political science, sociology, psychology, and women’s studies
• interdisciplinary scholars that work in feminist theory, cultural theory, postcolonial theory, public policy, innovation theory, and design.
• scientists and engineers interested in the social aspects of their fields
• members of the public with an interest in the way that science and technology affects their lives

The conference will be a four-day event with over multiple concurrent sessions, receptions, and a book exhibit. The book exhibit showcases new releases and previously published books in science and technology studies.  It provides sales opportunities for publishers, and allows editors, publishers and authors a chance to meet and discuss new projects.  Many attendees look forward to the book exhibit for finding new books for class, for their research, and for staying current in the field.
