Revisiting Reflexivity : Liveable Worlds in Research and Beyond (Dis-positions: Troubling Methods and Theory in Sts)

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. How can we nurture more liveable worlds in today’s neoliberal academia and beyond? This collection revisits the notion of reflexivity from a science and technology studies (STS) perspective, asking how researchers are affected by, and affect, the worlds they engage with. Using experimental formats that challenge academic convention, the volume acknowledges the ‘dark sides’ of reflexivity, while insisting that it is nonetheless worthwhile striving for it. This volume is essential for anyone interested in creative, playful and always incomplete attempts to refresh reflexivity in research, and in developing more liveable worlds for ourselves and those our research engages with.
