The Science, Technology, and Society (STS) Program at Vassar College would like to invite undergraduate students to participate in the Fifth National Undergraduate Research Conference on Science, Technology, Medicine and Society. The STMS Conference is an opportunity for undergraduates from across divisions to present their research on myriad topics related to the intersections of science, technology, medicine, and society. 

Due to the pandemic, this year’s conference will be held remotely, April 9–10, 2021.

Conference panels, consisting of undergraduate student presenters, will be moderated by faculty members and run on April 9th and 10th. In addition, Vassar is delighted to announce that Jennifer Brea will be the keynote speaker for the STMS Conference. 

We invite your students to participate in this exciting opportunity to share their research, meet other STS students, and engage with STS scholars. The call for submissions will open on March 3rd. An online submission form will be available on this page.

Vassar’s STS Program looks forward to hosting this year’s STMS Conference and to holding space during this busy and tumultuous time for catalytic STS discourse.
