The SFSU Science, Technology and Society (STS) Hub is pleased to announce the 2024 – 2025 STS Faculty Fellows Program. The program offers SFSU faculty who are working at the intersection of science and social justice the opportunity to join a community of engaged scholars for the academic year.
STS Hub fellows will develop and share scholarship, collaborate on potential research projects, mentor advanced graduate students and participate in shaping the future of the STS Hub. This year’s theme is “The Politics of Automation, Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence.”
Applications are welcomes from across the SFSU colleges from interdisciplinary faculty (tenure-track and lecturers) with active research projects that engage with this theme. Applications are also welcome from faculty working critically with data technologies to advance social justice goals.
Faculty with teaching or professional development interests related to the theme will be considered, as well as faculty working on other research topics and past STS Hub fellows. Priority will be given to applicants at the ranks of lecturer and assistant professor, but all are welcome to apply.
Fellows will receive a stipend of $1,000 to participate in the STS Hub. Hub members attend monthly sessions to discuss topics in STS and their fellowship projects.
Applications are due Friday, Sept. 27, at 11:59 p.m.
For questions, please email co-directors Martha Lincoln at mlincoln@sfsu.edu and Martha Kenney at mkenney@sfsu.edu.
