Just read an inspiring letter asking how we make #WeDoSTS visible at #EASST4S24 #easst2024 #4s2024. Any ideas, dear @sts friends? Stickers, postcards, t-shirts? How can #STS be supported in engaging with #WeDoSTS and #MeTooSTS?

Dear all, could someone help out finding out how many times and by how many users the #MeTooSTS and the #WeDoSTS has been used in Twitter/X and here? Thanks!!!

Fanny Oehme for the German Research Ombudsman who together with her colleagues "advises researchers on issues of good scientific practice.

Claudia Gertraud Schwarz-Plaschg is who recently spoke out publicly about her experiences of harassment, sex discrimination, and
abuses of power within the STS community. She mobilizes the hashtags #MeTooSTS and #WeDoSTS to
raise awareness and generate collective action against this problematic status
quo—and she wants you to join her!

#MeTooSTS in Germany and call for action

@i_ngli

I discussed #MeTooSTS at lenght with a non STS-related senior researcher and their point was that a lot has to do with prevention and senior scholars in power actively and continuously sensitizing themselves regarding power imbalances and intersectionality.

#MeTooSTS in Germany and call for action

@tscriado @stefanlaser @AnjaKlein @i_ngli @jul_ie_m @janalasser @simulo but let’s stay mindful about what social media debates can and cannot do and resolve. So thanks again for your initiative stsing! Looking forward to March and constructive reflexive discussions 🙂 the editorial team of easst Review will host an issue in spring about #WeDoSTS #MeTooSTS

The #MeTooSTS #WeDoSTS coincidentally happened at the same time as we started a reading group on Sara Ahmed's recent book "Complaint!" to also discuss how this applies to our own institute and what to do better. The book is on how complaints in academic institutions are made and unmade, amplifying the voices of complainers and complain collectives, and it couldn't be a better time to engage this work!

We also invite all STS researchers to join the next workshop about "Circulations of STS research(ers) and good academic research practice and working conditions" during the sts-hub in March 2023 which will be followed by a discussion with researchers, experts and activists."

#MeTooSTS and responsibility within the community

@i_ngli I think to make this searchable across platforms the # may have to bi in the text, not the CW. Anyways, people, if you are interested in #MeTooSTS #metooSTS and potential consequences for the STS-Hub in Germany, this way.

Reposting from Twitter bothers me but I keep doing it

Well, I increasingly understand why people are annoyed by birdsite content. It's like not respecting Mastodon.

Yet I feel that lots of stuff is microblogging content worth sharing. This is why, for example, I RT some of the #MeTooSTS stuff that has not migrated from Twitter. I hope to log out from the cross-posting soon though.

Sheila Jasanoff et sa clique du programme de sociologie des sciences à Harvard tolèrent le harcèlement sexuel et usent de leur pouvoir pour marginaliser et exclure les victimes au lieu de les soutenir. Il faut le dénoncer. #MeTooSTS
