<DIV><SPAN class=546121219-01102008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm very pleased to
announce that Sheila Jasanoff will be joining STS for this coming spring ('09)
term as a Distinguished Visiting Professor. Most of you I'm sure are
familiar with Sheila's work as a Professor of Science and Technology Studies at
Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, and with her many publications as a
leading expert in the area of law, politics, and policy in democracies,
particularly in the context of globalization. Sheila also founded the STS
program at Cornell, a close sister program to ours. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=546121219-01102008><FONT face=Arial size=2>During her term at
STS, Sheila will teach a graduate course "<FONT size=2>Expertise and Democracy
in Science and Technology Policy," which I encourage all of our students to take
(likely time is Wednesday 1-4pm). The course will fill a much needed role on our
campus for an STS-inflected course on S&T policy. Sheila will also present a
colloquium on her research, be available to informally advise graduate
students, and participate in conversations with us about the future vision
of the program. </FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
