Presidential Roundtable: Futuring STS and 4S

Abstract

In early 2019, a 4S Council ad hoc committee focused on “Futuring STS and 4S” conducted a survey of STS scholars situated in diverse contexts to understand their visions for STS and 4S going forward. This roundtable discussion will focus on survey results and how they could be translated into priority 4S projects.
