This award provides funding for the 8th annual meeting of the Society for the Studies of New and Emerging Technologies (S.NET), which is to be held in October 2017, in Tempe, Arizona. The goal of S.NET is to foster interdisciplinary and transnational scholarship on the societal dimensions of emerging technologies. The workshop will promote broad ranging intellectual inquiry and contribute to the continued development of diverse literatures on the mutual impacts between societies and emerging technologies. The bulk of the funds will be directed to graduate students, postdocs, scholars from underrepresented groups and junior scholars from the US that are accepted to present at the conference and who have little, or no other, travel support. Supported recipients will participate in two workshops focused specifically on early career professional development of the next generation of STS scholars. The 2017 conference theme is "Engaging the Flux," which alludes to the ongoing flux of technological developments, scientific knowledge productions, and societal alterations. The proposed workshops will embody the conference theme, embracing it in two ways of significance to junior scholars in the social studies of science, STS, science-informed art practices, and STEM disciplines. The conference will gather a projected 150-200 S.NET members (based on past attendance records), the vast bulk of whom will present on research that directly engages flux. The requested funds will enable scholarly work with applied benefits for the responsible development of new scientific knowledge and technologies, product innovation and commercialization, sustainable economic development, and (consequently) the long-term material and physical betterment of humankind. The funds will also fuel the professional development of the recipients at a crucial stage in their careers during a historic moment of intensified sociotechnical, political and professional uncertainty.

该奖项为将于2017年10月在亚利桑那州滕佩举行的新兴技术研究学会（S.NET）第8届年会提供资金。S.NET的目标是促进新兴技术社会层面的跨学科和跨国学术研究。研讨会将促进广泛的知识探索，并有助于继续发展关于社会和新兴技术之间相互影响的各种文献。大部分资金将用于研究生、博士后、来自代表性不足群体的学者和来自美国的初级学者，他们被接受出席会议，很少或没有其他旅行支持。支持受助人将参加两个专门侧重于下一代STS学者的早期职业生涯专业发展的研讨会。2017年会议的主题是“参与流动”，这暗示了技术发展，科学知识生产和社会变革的持续流动。拟议的研讨会将体现会议的主题，拥抱它在科学，STS，科学知情的艺术实践和STEM学科的社会研究的初级学者具有重要意义的两种方式。会议将聚集预计150-200 S.NET成员（根据过去的出席记录），其中大部分将介绍直接涉及通量的研究。所申请的资金将使学术工作具有应用效益，以负责任地开发新的科学知识和技术、产品创新和商业化、可持续经济发展，以及（因此）人类的长期物质和物质改善。这些资金还将在社会技术、政治和专业不确定性加剧的历史性时刻，在其职业生涯的关键阶段推动受援者的专业发展。
