IntroductionThe proposed workshop will bring together an international group of scholars to discuss the social studies of science and technology in Latin American contexts. In doing so, it will form new networks among North American, South American, and European scholars who use concepts and frameworks from science and technology studies (STS) to study science and technology in Latin America.Intellectual MeritThe international focus of this workshop will provide new perspectives and ways of thinking about science and technology, including the role of adaptation and translation of science and technology across cultures. Workshop participants will analyze how Latin American experiences broaden our understandings of science and technology; make visible the assumptions, values, and ethical dimensions of science and engineering practices; and push the interdisciplinary field of STS in new directions. The proposed workshop will also advance a new wave of new scholarship and showcase and make accessible some of the best STS scholarship by Latin American academics. Potential Broader ImpactsThe proposed workshop will engage members of the Indiana University at Bloomington community with STS scholarship on Latin America. More broadly, it will enhance infrastructure for research and education by advancing the formation of an intellectual community dedicated to the study of science and technology in Latin American contexts. It will benefit society by providing information for science and technology policy formation once the revised workshop papers are published. It will also broaden the participation of underrepresented groups, since academics from Latin American institutions (and North American scholars who study STS in the global south) are underrepresented in the international STS community. The workshop findings will be compiled in an edited volume, which will be distributed internationally by MIT Press.

拟议的讲习班将汇集一批国际学者，讨论拉丁美洲背景下的科学和技术社会研究。通过这样做，它将在北美，南美和欧洲的学者之间形成新的网络，他们使用科学和技术研究（STS）的概念和框架来研究拉丁美洲的科学和技术。智力优势这次研讨会的国际焦点将提供关于科学和技术的新视角和思考方式，包括跨文化的科学和技术的适应和翻译的作用。研讨会的参与者将分析拉丁美洲的经验如何扩大我们对科学和技术的理解;使科学和工程实践的假设，价值观和伦理层面可见;并推动STS跨学科领域的新方向。拟议的研讨会还将推动新的奖学金的新浪潮，并展示和提供拉丁美洲学者的一些最好的STS奖学金。潜在的更广泛的影响拟议的讲习班将从事印第安纳州大学在布卢明顿社区的成员与STS奖学金对拉丁美洲。更广泛地说，它将加强研究和教育的基础设施，推动形成一个专门研究拉丁美洲科学和技术的知识界。讲习班的订正文件一旦出版，将为科学和技术政策的制定提供信息，从而造福社会。它还将扩大代表性不足群体的参与，因为拉丁美洲机构的学者（以及在全球南部研究STS的北美学者）在国际STS社区中的代表性不足。研讨会的结果将汇编成一本编辑成册，由麻省理工学院出版社在国际上发行。
