Asia-Pacific STS Network Conference, 23-25 November
South Bank, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

The 2009 Asia-Pacific Science, Technology and Society Network Conference is the inaugural annual meeting of the new Asia-Pacific STS Network, where STS typically refers to exploring the social, environmental, cultural, political and ethical issues raised by science and technology, often related to policy and governance. The aim of the forum is to bring together researchers involved in STS studies in the Asia-Pacific region (East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australasia near the Pacific Ocean plus the states in Oceania) for critical discussions about science and technology for the new millennium, especially in connection to environmental sustainability, and to Indigenous peoples in the region. More broadly, to encourage stronger STS networking across countries, disciplines, institutions and professional groups, and to foster new connections and deepen or broaden existing ones.
