"I'm currently working as a project management consultant for United for Brownsville, a collective impact and participatory planning initiative that seeks to improve educational outcomes in a Brooklyn neighborhood. I also work as a research assistant on the Haus der Kulturen der Welt's Mississippi Anthropocene project."
"In addition to my current position in the Office of the Associate Dean for Research at Drexel’s College of Nursing and Health Professions, my STS degree has allowed me the opportunity to teach a course in Drexel’s History department. I teach “Technology in Historical Perspective” each quarter – a hugely rewarding experience on many levels."
"I am currently about to start the third year of my PhD studies at Cornell University’s STS program, which means I’m preparing for candidacy exams and teaching. I’m in the process of finishing the write-up for my pre-dissertation project, which expanded my Drexel master’s project by looking at how advocates of private, venture-capital funded fusion energy research construct the rhetorical futures and memories they use in their advocacy work."
"Since graduating from Drexel, I decided to pursue a PhD in Sociology and am doing so at Loyola University Chicago. Earning my M.S. in STS at Drexel positioned me to excel in my PhD program. For instance, my achievements have included the acceptance of a journal article for publication that is based on the work I did for my master’s thesis at Drexel."
"Working for a patient advocacy organization in Bethesda, MD called Aplastic Anemia and MDS International Foundation. I work as a Program Support Specialist for our Health Professional Programs dept., which means I assist with our Health Professional education programs, and manage our yearly research grants in Bone Marrow Failure."
"Still working at the Academy of Natural Sciences, as I was throughout my MSc, and looking for a doctoral program in History of Science."
"Currently, I’m continuing my job as a Program Assistant at Drexel University in the Department of Communication, a job I had throughout my time in the STS program. In the near future, I can see myself going in one of two directions: either I will continue as a higher education administrator, hopefully working with international students (returning to my foreign language roots as an undergrad at Rutgers University), or I will explore my interests in the materiality of digital space by finding a job in the video game industry. We’ll see!"
"I am a doctoral candidate in sociology at the University of California, San Francisco. My dissertation research investigates the social and political dimensions of emergent human- and organ-on-a-chip technologies, including how investments in their development are changing university-industry boundaries and arrangements, and how particular understandings of social and human differences are being modeled and embedded in those technologies."
"I am currently living in Raleigh, North Carolina as a PhD Student at North Carolina State University studying the Human and Social Dimensions of emerging genetic engineering technologies in the environment. I work mostly through the Forestry and Environmental Resources Department and am very involved with NCSU’s Genetic Engineering and Society Center. Since leaving Drexel, my research interests have evolved from the social and political dimensions of gene editing to include topic areas like public engagement methodologies and practices around emerging technologies, responsible research and innovation policy, and governance of emerging knowledge production cultures. I get to work with natural and social scientists alike on interdisciplinary projects as part of the Genetic Engineering and Society center, which I am finding to be a very challenging but rewarding endeavor."
"In addition to my work for UCLA, I'm also writing several pieces, which I plan to submit to STS journals. The first is on the uneven medicalization of addiction and its translation to care practices in addiction treatment. The second is a collaborative project with my former Drexel STS classmate, Kristy Birchard, on digital space design and disability. I've also started growing and arranging flowers. I was inspired to care for plants and work with my hands after reading Puig de la Bellacasa's (2015) "Making time for soil: Technoscientific futurity and the pace of care," and completing a project on community gardens for Ali Kenner's course on 'Philadelphia in a Changing Climate.'"
