Please join us on Monday, October 15, for an STS Colloquium:
Governing Green Laboratories:
Trust and Surveillance in the Cultures of Science
Susan Silbey
Professor of Sociology and Anthropology; Program Head, MIT Anthropology
4:00 pm, MIT, E51-095
Professor Silbey received her Ph.D. in Political Science from the
University of Chicago and post-graduate training in ethnography in
the Sociology Department of Brandeis University. She is most well
known for her work on law in everyday life, although she has written
about attorney general's offices, limited jurisdiction courts, and
alternative forms of dispute resolution including negotiation and
mediation. Her current research looks at the roles and conceptions of
law in scientific laboratories, comparing the place of law in expert
communities and popular culture. She is also conducting a
longitudinal study of engineering education, following a cohort of
students through four different engineering schools. Professor
Silbey is the past President of the Law and Society Association, and
a fellow of the American Academy of Political and Social
Science. Her publications include The Common Place of Law: Stories
from Everyday Life (with Patricia Ewick), In Litigation: Do the
'Haves' Still Come Out Ahead? (edited with Herbert Kritzer) and soon
to appear a two volume edited collection of essays on Law and
Science. She will speak Monday, October 15, on "Governing Green
Laboratories: Trust and Surveillance in the Cultures of Science."
See you Monday at 4:00 pm!
