Members of our program coordinate the Research Seminar Series in Science & Technology Studies. The series features bi-weekly seminars on a wide range of STS-related topics, and is sponsored by the Division of Natural Science, the Office of the Vice-President Academic, and the York University Bookstore. Now in its 14th year, the series has hosted over 500 speakers from Canada and around the world. It is open to the public, and STS majors are especially encouraged to attend. Members of the program also help coordinate the Bethune Seminar Series, which features 3-4 large public lectures each academic year. All seminars take place on Tuesdays from 12:30-2:00 in 203 Bethune College (unless otherwise noted) and are open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Directions are available using the York University Map. For further information, please write to the convener, Professor Katharine Anderson. |
