FiSTS represents feminist scholars who teach and/or do research in science, engineering, and STS. The goal of FiSTS is to raise the visibility of this group of scholars both within and outside of NWSA. FiSTS has been meeting as a group at NWSA for the past few years, using it as a portal to think through and hold discussions around feminist science studies issues collectively.
FiSTS started under the leadership of Mary Wyer and Banu Subramanian, who initiated the NWSA Science and Technology Task Force and kept it running for several years. Carole McCann served as the interim leader until we moved to a system of co-chairs, who share administrative and organizational work for the group.
The main activities of FiSTS:
