Abstract

RUBIANO-GALVIS, Sebastián  and  BARANDIARAN, Javiera. STS in Latin America, “a world in many worlds”. Trilogía. Cienc. Tecnol. Soc. [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.28, e203.  Epub Feb 21, 2023. ISSN 2145-7778.  https://doi.org/10.22430/21457778.2566.

In this interview with Javiera Barandiarán, Sebastián Rubiano enables us to reflect on the diversity of epistemologies revolving around Science and Technology Studies (STS) in Latin America. In an open conversation, Barandiarán shares the unique characteristics of the sociological and historical study of science in our region, including a colonial past, tensions, alliances with governments, and an ever-present extractivism. This interview enables us to observe the characteristics of the STS field in the context of the social, political, and technological challenges shared by several countries in Latin America.

Keywords : Environmental conflicts; STS-Latin America; political ecology; Javiera Barandiarán; environment; environmental policy.
