Financed by a Global Studies grant and Center for Ideas and Society Project Development award, this research contextualizes the extent of interdisciplinarity in Science and Technology Studies (STS) at UCR. The objective directly relates to the university’s declared humanitarian mission to serve the community by nurturing a global focus on transdisciplinary; a methodology and epistemology derived by combining “knowledge from different scientific disciplines with that of public and private stakeholders” (OECD 2020). Science and Technology Studies (STS) at UCR shares with other departmentally integrated disciplines such as Global Studies, a tendency to prioritize a viewpoint held by one area of study over another. A cross-section of UCR faculty will explore this salient hierarchical approach to knowledge production during a symposium sponsored by this project. The question framing the consortium will be, “Is there a need for UCR to centralize Science and Technology Studies?” An interdisciplinary dialogue by faculty about existing processes and intra and extra-departmental collaborations at UCR will fulfill the mission of STS; to enable the universities partners to benefit from cross-disciplinary research on knowledge production and technological change in the past, present, and future.

2012-2017
Linda Jean Hall received her Doctoral Degree from the University of California, Riverside where she is actively involved in research, teaching and writing anthropological analyses about the ways concepts like race, class, and gender impact the lived experiences of Ecuadorian immigrants in the US. Hall’s research in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami explores for the first time the unique meaning of Ecuadorian migration to the U.S. and the inter and intra practices of this population from within the context of Hispanic/Latino.
