SUMMARY:2020 SSRC Fellow Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Aihwa Ong\nProfessor of Anthropology\, University of California\, Berkeley\nSpeaks on: \nNear-Humans\, Cloned Monkeys\, & CRISPR Babies: Productive Uncertainty in China’s Quest for Biosecurity\n  \n \nWith responses by: \nDuana Fullwiley\nAssociate Professor of Anthropology\, Stanford University \nGuobin Yang\nGrace Lee Boggs Professor of Communications & Sociology\, University of Pennsylvania \nWednesday\, September 23\, 2020 – 4:00 PM (ET) \nWatch the Lecture \n  \nAbout the Lecture\nAnthropological inquiry enhances STS (Science\, Technology\, and Society Studies) by analyzing the diversity of contexts and perspectives that participate in contemporary knowledge-making processes. The focal point for the discipline concerns how values and beliefs about being human mutate and what modes of living and forms of life modernity subsequently puts at stake. Reflexive ethnographic research illuminates how specific cases and contingent circumstances connect to big questions and situated practices contribute to globalized change. Ong’s approach has always been poised at the intersections of particularity and globality\, difference and interconnectivity\, human and non-human\, and stability and uncertainty. \nSuch a vantage point analyzes how Asia’s emerging biomedical sites productively engage and transform contemporary science through a process of de- and re-contextualization\, thus making it cosmopolitan. \nAbout Aihwa Ong\nAihwa Ong is professor of anthropology at the University of California\, Berkeley. She is a member of the Science Council of the International Panel on Social Progress. \nOng has published on a range of topics including the anthropology of labor\, governance\, sovereignty\, cities\, citizenship\, life sciences\, and experimental art in the Asia-Pacific.
