Overordnede kursusmål:
To develop participants' competences in sociotechnical theory
and analytical methods from the interdisciplinary field of Science
and Technology Studies (STS).
Course supervision will emphasize the individual participants’
Ph.D. projects, in relation to the course’s subject matter.
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
Work reflexively with one's own empirical material in the
scoping and building of theory
Invoke theoretical insights and analytical devices in the
analytical treatment of empirical material.
Engage research methods to identify relevant actors and frame
issues under inquiry.
Deploy STS to address artefacts and use practices
in-the-making.
Address processes of enrolling disparate, heterogeneous sources
of knowledge.
Consider the present framing of research questions, and
possibilities for their further qualification and development
through reframing.
Actively engage the course contents to ongoing dissertation
work.
Communicate analytical challenges and methodological issues
pertinent to one's realm of study.
Kursusindhold:
The course addresses analytical challenges and methodological
issues, focusing on Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and Social
Construction of Technology (SCOT), while engaging also
Domestication of Technology, ‘Post-ANT’ and the notion of Boundary
Objects, in a more delimited capacity. Central to the course will
be 1) working reflexively with how the empirical material plays a
role in one’s scoping and building of theory; and 2) conversely,
how theoretical insights help in guiding analytical work based on
one’s empirical material.
