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讲习班，旨在汇集科学和技术研究（STS）领域的研究生和学者，目标是为新兴的网络媒介科学研究制定议程。 第一次研讨会将于2013年夏季在哈佛大学举行，重点是设计方法（如协同设计和数据可视化）在数字科学中的作用。 第二次研讨会将于2013年秋季在加州大学圣地亚哥分校的加州电信和信息技术研究所举行，与科学社会研究学会（4S）年会在同一地点举行。随着科学变得越来越计算化，越来越依赖网络基础设施，通过将STS研究扩展到传统的STS重点实验台科学和土木工程之外，以包括虚拟科学和CI工程，可以获得很多。 拟议的研讨会将解决这一知识差距，既引发数字STS研究人员之间关于该领域的主题，方法和方向的对话，也使研究生和其他新兴学者可以进行对话。 特别是，digitalSTS研讨会将向STS学者介绍设计方法，以加强对数字物质性和混合社会技术系统的研究。 作为参与网络媒介科学研究材料和实践社区的一种手段，使用可视化、模型、地图和数据记录非常适合当前的技术时刻。本次研讨会的长期目标是制定一本数字科学和技术研究手册，该手册将为该领域的现在和未来提供方法和实质性指导。
