On November 11th, 2024, editors James Maguire, Astrid Oberborbeck Andersen and Rachel Douglas-Jones will host a launch of special issue Approaching Digital Anthropocenes.
The collection originated at the 2020 EASST + 4S conference, known as “Locating and Timing Matters: Significance and Agency of STS in emerging worlds”. It was meant to take place in Prague, between the 18th and 20th of August. Instead, it took place online. One of the conference organizers wrote up their experience from the host side, stories from our side can be read in the SI introduction!
All are welcome to the launch, at 17-18, to hear from the editors and authors, and celebrate the culmination of years of work on the part of our amazing contributors.
The full collection is available open access through NatureCulture here.
