We are a research network at the intersection of science and technology studies (STS) and critical migration, security and border studies
What we do
We bring together researchers from different disciplines around the world, initiate scientific exchange, and organize events, funding, and publication projects.
Our events
A small format which takes place once a month and which serves to reflect jointly on work-in-progress state-of-the-art, unpublished contributions. From September 2024, STS-MigTec and COST Action Datamig Working Group1 join forces and organize the events together.
Monthly meetings online
A digital meeting space where members suggest and discuss literature related to classic and contemporary readings coming from science and technology studies, critical migration and border and security studies.
Monthly meetings online
The conference format of the network. Scholars are invited to present work in panels, plan future network activities, and think about interventions beyond academia.
This year, two workshops are organised at Utrecht University together with the Department of Media and Culture Studies Utrecht University and COST Action:
April 8-9: Hybrid conference1: STS-MigTec Annual Paper Workshop 2024, Utrecht University (full program here)
April 9-10: Hybrid conference2: COST Action Workshop (CA22135): Data Matters: Sociotechnical Challenges of European Migration and Border Control (full program here)
Teaching and support formats for early career scholars for developing further writing, reading, and research skills.
