“…TRANSNATIONALIZING STS 51 crowded with people since we were re-designing the space on this day (Khandekar 2019). On the first day of the exhibit (August 30), all exhibits reflecting on the STS trajectories had been organized according to their original conception as "places": Turkey, Japan, Mexico, and so on.…”

“…As scholars coming from different backgrounds and settled in different geopolitical contexts, we-as the curators of this thematic issue-were both impressed and inspired by the openings of encounters and dialogues fostered through sharing our divergent experiences in different localities. The Innovating STS exhibitionSanclemente 2019, Khandekar 2019), held following the inaugural STS Across Borders exhibition, reactivated such openings at the 4S 2019 conference in New Orleans (4S 2019) on a different continent. This transnational space extended and deepened previous exhibits as new exhibitors also joined.…”

Why, how, and for whom does it matter to walk through, attend and attune to plural and complex STS places/spaces? By building on the STS Across Borders and Innovating STS exhibits held at 4S 2018 and 2019 meetings, this thematic collection unpacks this question and explores the potentials of TRANSnational STS as a methodological orientation in these uncertain times, in a world where technoscientific knowledges and practices are constantly instrumentalized, reproducing colonial, imperialist, racist, nationalist and toxic relationships. The landscape of analysis in curating this thematic collection begins with the places of STS; this can be either a place where an STS meeting is held, an institution where STS scholars do research and teaching, or a formation that brings people together for social studies of science and technology. We invite readers to slowly walk through such a landscape, observing in detail particular places of STS. The contributors to this thematic collection highlight the importance of thinking and theorizing by starting with lived experiences, investigating each phenomenon within its own reality, and creating and conserving spaces for plurality with responsibility and care. Recognizing that reality is multi-layered, and thus needs a plurality of perspectives, the invitation to think about STS theories and practices through the analytic of place is about opening and holding collaborative spaces for ongoing discussions over the politics of STS without reproducing a form of methodological nationalism. This introductory essay presents what we have learned over the last four years navigating in and through TRANSnational STS places/spaces and constitutes one stop in our journey to slow down, reflect on, and share what it means to TRANSnationalize STS. With this collection, we hope to open a public space in ESTS to continue thinking collectively about potential new pathways for the future of the field.
