This project will support two interdisciplinary training workshops designed to bring together graduate students and scholars in the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS), with the goal of framing an agenda for the emerging study of cyber-mediated science. The first workshop will take place in Summer 2013 at Harvard University, with a focus on the role of design methods (such as codesign and data visualization) in digital science. The second workshop will take place in Fall 2013 at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, on the campus of the University of California-San Diego, where it will be co-located with the annual meeting of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S).As science becomes increasingly computational and increasingly dependent on cyberinfrastructure, much can be gained by extending STS inquiry beyond the traditional STS focus on bench science and civil engineering, to encompass virtual science and CI-engineering. The proposed workshops will address this intellectual gap, both by sparking a conversation among digital STS researchers about topics, methods and directions for the field, and also by making that conversation accessible to graduate students and other emerging scholars. In particular, the digitalSTS workshops will introduce STS scholars to design methods that can enhance studies of digital materiality and hybrid sociotechnical systems. As a means of engaging with cyber-mediated scientific research materials and communities of practice, the use of visualizations, models, maps, and data documentaries is well suited to the current technological moment. The long-term goal of this workshop is the development of a Digital Science and Technology Studies Handbook, which will offer a methodological and substantive guide on the present and future of the field.

该项目将支持两个跨学科培训研讨会，旨在将科学技术研究领域的研究生和学者汇集在一起​​，目的是为网络介导的科学进行新兴研究制定议程。 第一个研讨会将于2013年夏季在哈佛大学举行，重点介绍了数字科学中设计方法（例如代码和数据可视化）的作用。 第二次研讨会将于2013年秋季在加利福尼亚大学迭戈分校校园的加利福尼亚电信和信息技术研究所举行，在那里它将与科学社会研究学会年会共同介绍（4s）。由于科学变得越来越多地计算，并且越来越依赖网络基础设施，通过将STS查询扩展到传统的STS之外，可以将其扩展到基础科学和土木工程，以涵盖虚拟科学和工程技术。 拟议的研讨会将通过激发数字STS研究人员之间关于该领域的主题，方法和方向的对话，并通过使研究生和其他新兴学者可以访问该对话来解决这一智力差距。 特别是，数字大学的研讨会将向设计方法引入STS学者，以增强数字重要性和混合社会技术系统的研究。 作为参与网络介导的科学研究材料和实践社区的一种手段，可视化，模型，地图和数据纪录片的使用非常适合当前的技术时刻。该研讨会的长期目标是开发数字科学和技术研究手册，该手册将在该领域的当前和未来提供方法论和实质性指南。
