The focus of the "3rd Vienna Workshop on STEM Collections, Gender and Sexuality" will be on infrastructures socio-technical systems and immaterial networks that link people, materialities, places, institutions and services. In the form of, e.g., transportation routes, water and energy supply systems as well as communication networks, they create long-lived structures but also path dependencies.

Diverse Infrastructures? Gender, Queer & the Foundations of Society

They provide, enable and prevent social functions - e.g., mobility, interchange, communication - and ensure the operation and functioning of society, the economy, and politics. By being embedded in social structures, they reproduce social realities.

In addition to lectures and discussions, the programme offers workshops, an exhibition tour and a film screening.

Please register until 30th August 2023 via gender@tmw.at.
