Description

In this episode, we speak to Professor Kari Lancaster from the University of Bath. Kari speaks about her career journey so far, coming from performance studies to policy studies and then into science and technology studies (STS) "sideways". Kari is recognised for contributing empirical social science research in her specific fields of focus (drugs and addiction, and infectious disease including hepatitis C, HIV, and Covid-19). In this episode - which also took place as a live seminar - Kari shares three ideas that have shaped her thinking and research:



  • Problematisation (Carol Bacchi, Michel Foucault)

  • Ontological politics (John Law, Annemarie Mol)

  • Coming to science and technology studies (STS) "sideways"
