How is the specificity of a location situated within discourses of universality? This open panel will explore how supposedly universally natural, complex knowledge is crafted in situ by negotiating what can be afforded by a local site or model in relation to generalizing theories. Cases should consider the role of institutions, social power, discourse, and practice in forging correspondences so that local sites can stand for universal processes. We hope to extend conversations in STS that engage the place-fullness of scientific practice in the context of hybrid experimental systems, instruments, and research infrastructures that are situated in specific contexts and communities and yet extend to extra-local claims and networks. </span></div><div style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'calibri light' , sans-serif">Topics envisioned include:</span></div><div style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'calibri light' , sans-serif">Explorations of scientific knowledge about complex interrelations between water/climate/soil (sea/sky/ land) in environmental sciences as they negotiate the specificity of research sites with aspirations to general models.</span></div><div style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'calibri light' , sans-serif">Studies of universalizing work and claims-making as a mode of colonizing and how this is instantiated in historical or contemporary research projects. </span></div><div style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'calibri light' , sans-serif">Examples of the movement of samples, instruments, and personnel among different places, and the work done to establish correspondences and spread knowledge and methodologies to new sites.</span></div><div style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'calibri light' , sans-serif"><br></span></div><div style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'calibri light' , sans-serif">Abstract submission open April 12-May 26, 2023: </span><a href="https://members.4sonline.org/members/proposals/propselect.php?orgcode=4S&prid=1293777" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://members.4sonline.org/members/proposals/propselect.php?orgcode=4S&prid=1293777</a></div><div style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'calibri light' , sans-serif">Please contact the panel organizers if you have any questions.</span></div><div style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'calibri light' , sans-serif">Timothy Sacco, NOIR Lab, (<a href="mailto:tim.sacco@noirlab.edu" style="color:blue" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">tim.sacco@noirlab.edu</a>)</span></div><div style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'calibri light' , sans-serif">Elie Danziger, </span><span style="background-color:white"><font size="3">CNRS (<a href="mailto:elie.danziger@ehess.fr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">elie.danziger@ehess.fr</a>)</font></span></div><div style="margin:0in"><span style="background-color:white"><font size="3">Jennifer Croissant, University of Arizona (<a href="mailto:jlc@arizona.edu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">jlc@arizona.edu</a>)</font></span></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div></body></html>
