This essay organizes materials and discussions related to the 6S preconference workshop held prior to the EASST/4S 2020 annual conference. This essay will facilitate workshop participants situated around the world to have ongoing, asynchronous discussions about their projects, research interests, and STS more broadly. The online space is also a potential home for collaborative analysis and writing projects beyond the space-time of the August 2020 workshop. We hope this space will enable a community of emerging scholars to continue to engage on these topics from different standpoints.
