Angela Okune on the future directions of STS in Africa

Text

Angela Okune (June 6, 2018): I think that future research related to science and technology in/from/on Africa should look at research infrastructures, that is, the technical, legal, political, economic and social infrastructures that have been and are being established to produce knowledge. I think there is great possibility and also great risk in the "open science" rhetoric and I think STS scholars should be working in and on that as well.

AO: This excerpt from my response to the survey related to STS in Africa highlights my thoughts on future directions for STS in Africa and helps to answer the STS Across Borders' analytic question: "How is the future of this STS formation envisioned?"
