ITS VIRTUAL SEMINAR SERIES 2025-2026
ITS Virtual Seminar Series with Dr. Suze Berkhout (Mediation, Curation, Materialization: Art-Science Collaborations, Feminist STS, and the Invisible, Contested, and Ephemeral in Biomedicine)
Register here to join us for an ITS virtual talk "Mediation, Curation, Materialization: Art-Science Collaborations, Feminist STS, and the Invisible, Contested, and Ephemeral in Biomedicine" with Dr. Suze Berkhout (University of Toronto) on March 12, 2026 from 12:00 pm till 1:30 pm.
Dr. Suze Berkhout is a clinician investigator and psychiatrist at University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto, and Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, Department of Psychiatry. She is an affiliate faculty with the Institute of the History & Philosophy of Science and Technology. Her research interests focus on contemporary feminist philosophy of science/science and technology studies and the relationships that might be forged between these areas and crip theory/feminist philosophy of disabilty.
This talk considers a series of art-science collaborations at the intersections of feminist STS and crip technoscience, looking to the role of mediation, curation, and materialization as processes that endanger new forms of knowing in biomedicine that are at once experimental, emergent,and ephemeral, offering transformative ways of collectively reimagining the outputs of science and medicine.
This is in collaboration with Centre for Feminist Research
