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A small format which takes place once a month and which serves to reflect jointly on work-in-progress state-of-the-art, unpublished contributions related to the themes of interest to STS-MigTec.
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.

April 8-9: Hybrid conference1: STS-MigTec Annual Paper Workshop 2024, Utrecht University (full program here)
