EGENIS Lecture: Finding and making spaces for interdisciplinary collaboration: From the laboratory to the garden (via the policy room and the ivory tower)

Finding and making spaces for interdisciplinary collaboration can be hard, particularly when these collaborations traverse the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities. As a researcher in the field of science and technology studies (STS) I often have to move around. In my social scientific investigations of the life sciences I have spent time in equipment-laden laboratories, studios for biological art, glass-walled government meeting rooms, artisan coffee houses, and high-ceilinged libraries. Most recently, my research has extended into the garden. In this talk, I journey through these different places, exploring their possibilities and constraints, and the opportunities they provide for thinking across and beyond disciplines.
