[Sci-tech-public] STS faculty in the news

[David Kaiser]

Hello, all,

I wanted to bring your attention to Rosalind Williams's very interesting presentation at last week's Inauguration Symposium on "The Future of Education." Roz spoke on "MIT Culture: The Future as Past." You can watch Roz's presentation here:

Her remarks begin around 1:18 into the video. Many thanks to Roz for representing STS and SHASS so well at this important event.

And in case you missed it, Ted Postol was featured in a recent article in the New York Times on US missile defense strategy:

Please share with me other items I might have missed -- it's always great to see STS scholars and scholarship making an impact in the world --

best,
Dave
