>  
> We are excited to announce the first Swedish STS Summer School, beingheld August 4–8, 2014 in a beautiful former monastery at Lake Vättern in Vadstena, Sweden. The summer school is organised by Tema T – Technology and Social Change at Linköping University. It will provide a platform for PhD students to interact with eminent scholars in the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS) and engage in discussions on current topics in STS.
>  
> This year’s theme is STS as an Engaged Program. The anchor teacher, who will be present throughout the week, is Wiebe Bijker, Maastricht University.
>  
> Four additional main speakers will present their ideas and will be available for discussion and feedback:
>     -  Ulrik Jørgensen, Aalborg University
>     -  Kornelia Konrad, University of Twente
>     -  Andrew Stirling, University of Sussex
>     -  Jane Summerton, University of Oslo
>  
> In this summer school we want to explore how STS may contribute to a more reflexive and socially inclusive way of dealing with techno-political and social problems. We will critically discuss to which extent Science and Technology Studies still have retained their early critical and provocative character.
>
