#4SSeattle abstracts are due Feb 2nd! For those working in #STS #MakingandDoing modes, check out our panel reflecting on 10 years of Making & Doing Programs at 4S. Does M&D hail a cohering set of methodological, theoretical and/or political commitments?...

Vibe Check: Reflections on Ten Years of Making and Doing
4S open panel #234, convened by Ben Gansky, Mascha Gugganig, and Yelena Gluzman

Since 2015, hundreds of 4S members have had experience with Making and Doing as presenters, organizers, award adjudicators or audiences. STS research in audiovisual, experiential, or poetic forms has grown and matured, and there has been a proliferation of STS publications to theorize and make sense of various artistic and craft practices as STS methods. As we near ten years since its founding, this open panel invites reflections on the reverberations of Making and Doing for STS as a discipline. We particularly welcome first-person perspectives of M&D participants, broadly defined, and hope to gather contributions toward a 2026 special issue.

Proposals may take up topics including, but certainly not limited to:
- What and whose work makes Making & Doing possible, and how have the specificities of these interactions articulated and stabilized what M&D has been and could be?
- Does M&D hail a cohering set of methodological, theoretical and/or political commitments? What interventions has M&D made in disciplinary norms or hierarchies of knowledge in STS or more broadly?
- What is (or should be) the vibe of M&D? How does sharing knowledge happen at M&D in a way that is worth reflecting upon?

While we welcome contributions in the form of panel talks, we also recognize that contributions may be in non-traditional formats. To be clear, contributions to this open panel should offer perspectives to reflect on M&D contributions to STS, but should not replace or replicate a contribution to the M&D Program at 4S Seattle.

Submissions are due on Feb 2, 2025. Hybrid participation is possible. Submission portal URL follows: https://www.xcdsystem.com/4sonline/abstract/abstract.cfm
