The 2018 Freiburg Colloquium Series in Science and Technology Studies
University College Freiburg
Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg

Co-organized by Nicholas Buchanan and Veronika Lipphardt

The interrelationships between society, the environment, and biology are becoming ever more complex and ever more important. Concepts such as disease, genes, ecologies, and biomedicine have taken on new meanings in politics, law, ethics, popular culture, and the sciences themselves.

Because navigating and understanding this changing landscape poses challenges that span academic disciplines, we invite you to join us at the Summer 2018 Colloquium series in Science and Technology Studies, University College Freiburg, for lectures and discussions with world-renowned scholars in Science and Technology Studies, History of Science, and History of Medicine.

All lectures are free and open to the public and will be followed by discussion.

For more information on the series, including abstracts as they become available, please visit our website at

Supported by FRIAS, The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies
