  • 19/07/2024, Panel: “Epistemology of scientific outposts: a (brief) introduction”

Congrès de la EASST (European society for the Social Studies of Science) à Amsterdam– Pays-Bas

David Dumoulin Kervran, Jan Verlin et Jérôme Lamy ont organisé ce panel ouvert

The socio-historical understanding of scientific outposts necessitates scrutiny of their epistemological impacts, especially in (post)colonial contexts and their dynamic with metropolitan centers. This panel explores data constitution, collegiality, and friction with labs.

  • 07-10/12/2022, Panel « Field stations in periphery territories. Bubbles of science. »

Congrès de la 4S (Society for the Social Studies of Science) à Cholula – Mexique

David Dumoulin Kervran, Jan Verlin et Jérôme Lamy ont organisé ce panel ouvert.

Since the 1970s, the social sciences have analysed the production of science as a historically and geographically situated social practice. Thus far, empirical studies have mostly been carried out in industrialised countries with a focus on major metropoles. Very few analyses rely on case studies from non-industrialised countries or scientific “places” that are neither urban (laboratories, museums, hospitals, etc.) nor temporary field practices designed to collect data for those institutions (expeditions, field work, etc.). In contrast, this panel sheds light on permanent scientific places at the margins of colonial or post-colonial territories.
