Hey #4SToronto #4S2026 had an absolutely delightful time dancing the night away w you. Always glad to be the one the band points to as “you don’t even need to know how to dance just look how much fun she’s having.” 😂 One more day to get to know some of you. Say hi please; I’m shy when not 🕺 💃🏻

Mixed feelings about the speculative plenary at #4S2026 #4SToronto. Some interesting ideas, but I was struck by how familiar the underlying visions of the future felt. Surely a reflection of some deeply shared normative assumptions within STS.

#4S2026 #4SToronto I will be at the "Resisting Generative AI in Higher Education" workshop this afternoon to share a bit about strategies to support disabled students, staff, and faculty beyond the use of corporate tech

#4SToronto #4s2026 plenary talks. @zephoria.bsky.social and Vass Bedear @canadianshieldinstitute.ca were on fire. 🔥 🔥 Great talks, sharp arguments, important insights. Maybe a little preaching to the choir - but hey, we’re at an STS conference
