Reading Group
Digital STS Reading Group
A recurring group for reading platforms, data infrastructures, automation, surveillance, digital labor, and public life through STS.
Current question
How do digital systems become public infrastructure, and what forms of accountability can STS make visible?
Convening model
Parikshith Shashikumar and Arjun Ghosh. Fortnightly sessions in online format.
Public outputs
Session notes, Reading paths, NEXUS report-backs
Reading cycle
Slow conversation becomes public infrastructure.
Reading groups are not side activity. They are where themes become people, questions become outputs, and shared reading becomes the site's living curriculum.
Read
A shared text, field case, report, or resource item anchors the session.
Discuss
Participants turn concepts into questions, examples, disagreements, and local observations.
Publish
Notes can become readers, NEXUS reflections, teaching prompts, or event ideas.
Share
Useful traces move into the Resource Hub so the conversation remains findable.
Join this cycle
Share your interests, city, and availability. The right follow-up may be a reading group session, a chapter route, a NEXUS report-back, or a resource contribution.
