Affiliates
Current Northwestern graduate students in any department or program who are interested in exploring the reciprocal relations between the humanities and the sciences, medicine, and technology are invited to become a Science Studies Graduate Affiliate. These students are invited to:
- Attend the weekly Klopsteg lecture series, which meets on Mondays 4:30-6:00 pm.
- Participate in the Science Studies Doctoral Colloquium and reading group, a student-run colloquium, which meets three times a quarter (Mondays 4:30-6:30pm) and allows students to discuss grant proposals, present dissertation chapters, practice job talks, examine professional development, read key science studies texts, and hear visiting speakers of their own choosing.
In addition, Science Studies Graduate Affiliates are invited, whenever funds permit, to apply for up to $400 each year to help defray the costs of presenting a paper at a professional conference on a science studies topic.
Current Northwestern graduate students interested in becoming Science Studies Graduate Affiliates should contact the SHC director, Professor Ken Alder at k-alder@northwestern.edu
