In this editorial, we've taken the opportunity of being 3 years in - amidst the "flow or tide" of submissions - to ask how the field's energies are being distributed, + reflect on the concepts and theories that are so central to new STS work that they almost form a canon or infrastructure...

the Urban Institute at Sheffield is one of the few remaining places in the UK where truly wild thinking is still alive and kicking, against all odds. It's an honour and pleasure to be able to pay tribute to them.

"James’s individualism appears dated, unworthy of the present. Yet such judgement neglects its pragmatic dimension, as well as its political connections to James’s anarchistic pluralism." @martinsavransky.bsky.social doi.org/10.1057/s412...

Hace unos días supimos que esto se viene por fin en 2025 de la mano de Editorial CSIC. Ilusión y agradecimientos infinitos. (La portada es una maqueta provisional.)

Just using my first post here to thank my amazing hosts (Pedro Moscoso & Antonia Viu, Felipe Palma, Manuel Tironi, and Feilpe Lagos) in the trip across Chile from a few weeks ago. Absolutely full of generative conversations with friends and brilliant work by bright, thoughtful emerging scholars.

This is so wild. Edinburgh University owns half of the most expensive city in the UK outside of London, has a shocking amount of precariously employed teaching staff and is now one of the first to announce job cuts post NI announcement.

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics
