Call for Abstracts: Philippine Studies: Historical & Ethnographic Viewpoints (Special Issue on Science and Technology Studies)

In the Philippines and its diaspora, our current political climates demonstrate the urgency with which we must expand Philippine Science and Technology Studies (STS), most especially with the growth of disinformation networks, science denial, and the deliberate extraction of labor through technoscientific industries. This special issue of Philippine Studies: Historical & Ethnographic Viewpoints asks: How do Philippine case studies expand the horizon of STS? What theoretical opportunities emerge from empirical data that can then inform how STS is taught, deployed, and written about? What transpires at the intersection of queer, postcolonial, and/or feminist STS in the Philippines? How do artistic, creative, and coalitional possibilities respond to technoscientific institutions and problems?

Article-length essays from scholars, artists, thinkers, activists, and organizers who hail from and cross disciplines are welcome.

Submissions are due by January 8, 2021.
