Bio:

Zoltán's research examines racial and ethnic questions pertaining to international law and international security. His current research project centers on the evasion of international law. It proposes that agents do not simply follow or violate international law, but that they also evade it by exploiting loopholes broadly construed. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and abundant primary sources, Zoltán illustrates the argument in the case of the discriminatory treatment of the Roma in the European Union.

Bio:

Alison Kenner is Associate Professor of Politics, with a joint appointment in the Center for Science, Technology, and Society. Her research is concerned with human-environment relations in late industrialism, particularly how people inhabit their homes, think about and experience environments, and work to create change in the world. Working in the traditions of experimental and collaborative ethnography, Kenner’s research tacks between political economy, everyday life, and the infrastructures that underpin both. Her first book, Breathtaking: Asthma Care in a Time of Climate Change (University of Minnesota Press, 2018), documents how care is materialized at different scales -- from medication use to mobile phone apps and environmental policy – to address the U.S. asthma epidemic.

Kenner’s latest research, The Energy Rights Project, investigates energy vulnerability in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region, and looks at how organizations and government policies enable affordable access to water, electricity, and heating fuel. This project is funded by a National Science Foundation standard grant through the Science and Technology Studies Program.

Kenner’s teaching focuses on the politics of science, technology, and energy in society, and she offers courses on climate change, feminist political theory, and the politics of environmental health. Her courses are organized using feminist pedagogy, peer collaboration, and project-based learning.

Previously, Professor Kenner co-organized Climate Ready Philly with a team of nonprofit educators in Philadelphia. Between 2014-2020 she led the Philadelphia Health and Environment Ethnography Lab, which facilitated collaborative projects between Drexel students, governmental and nongovernmental partners, and community organizations.

Much of her academic work invests in the development of digital infrastructure for equitable scholarship and publishing. She is currently Associate Editor of Engaging Science, Technology, and Society, an open access journal of the Society for Social Studies of Science, and she has been involved in the development of the Platform for Collaborative and Experimental Ethnography since 2013.

Curriculum Vitae:

Bio:

I am Professor of Politics and Global Studies at Drexel University, specializing in International Relations. My primary areas of research include international organizations, international finance, development and human rights. I have published three books: on how U.N. agencies design and implement human rights policies, on the conditions of independence for international organizations, and on the rights-based approach to development. I have also published on the rights of indigenous peoples, the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the meaning of “equity” among develop experts, among other topics. Classes that I have taught include courses on international relations theory and practice, human rights, international organizations, and ethical issues in international affairs.

My current research continues my interest in international organizations and human rights based approaches to development. My 2017 book from Oxford University Press examined the link between development and human rights in India. Current research focuses on how the Universal Periodic Review process can inform UN development policy, and how global power shifts are changing the UN Secretariat.

I have been a visiting Research Scholar at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, and visiting Teaching Fellow at the University of Abomey-Calavi, in Benin. I am currently Chair of the International Organization Section of the International Studies Association (ISA). I founded and directed the “ISA at UNAI” program, which brings together ISA scholars with their counterparts at the UN for discussion of important issues. From 2007-2018 I was the Director of the International Area Studies/Global Studies major at Drexel.

When not teaching, reading or writing, I enjoy rowing on the Schuylkill River and am a member of the Vesper Boat Club.

Curriculum Vitae:

Bio:

I became interested in science and technology studies (STS) as an undergraduate engineering student in Georgia. When my flight performance professor off-handedly mentioned fuel dumping, I immediately wanted to know: Dumping on whom? With what consequences? And who gets to decide whether that’s okay?

As a graduate student in an interdisciplinary environmental studies program, I pursued questions about the human, political and environmental dimensions of science and technology. That led me to research at the intersection of STS and environmental justice studies, focusing on social inequality in the distribution of environmental hazards and decision-making power.

I came to Drexel in 2014 from the University of Washington-Bothell. I teach classes in Science and Technology Policy, Environmental Politics and Citizen Science. I also advise MS students in the Science, Technology, and Society and Environmental Policy Programs. My research group, the Fair Tech Collective, welcomes students from all levels and backgrounds who are interested in mobilizing science and technology to empower environmental justice communities. We use an apprenticeship model: students learn by doing alongside more experienced researchers.

Current research

My research on science, technology, and environmental justice has three parts that combine big ideas with real-world relevance:

• Empirical – I observe and analyze environmental controversies in order to understand the disconnects between how technical experts understand environmental issues and how people actually live with these environmental hazards.
• Ethical – I use political and ethical theory to envision ways that science and technology could better support environmental justice and more effectively empower communities.
• Experimental – I collaborate with scientists, engineers and community members to put theory into practice: we create technologies and design studies to address environmental justice issues, then we assess their impact.

For example, in one project I document the history of community-based air monitoring at oil refinery fencelines (empirical) while collaborating with community air monitoring activists to develop an interactive website (airwatchbayarea.org) and an app for exploring real-time air quality data in the Bay area (experimental).

Honors and Recognition

My book, "Refining Expertise: How Responsible Engineers Subvert Environmental Justice Challenges", was awarded the 2015 Rachel Carson prize for a work of social or political relevance by the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S).

I received a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation for my project “Environmental Justice and the Ethics of Science and Technology.”

I currently serve as an elected member of the 4S Council (2015-2018), and on the editorial boards of Energy Research and Social Science and Citizen Science: Theory and Practice.

My commentary and analysis has been featured in The Washington Post, Contra Costa Times, Issues in Science and Technology, as well as in blogs such as PLOS One – Citizen Science and Backchannels.

I’ve been quoted in Grid Magazine, Public Source, and by the National Public Radio affiliate WHYY, as well as other publications focusing on energy, design, science and the environment.

Bio:

Chloe Silverman, PhD, is the Director of the Center for Science, Technology and Society and an associate professor in the Department of Politics. She works in three related areas, which inform her choice of research topics and the courses she teaches. Most centrally, she studies the role of affect in scientific knowledge, how public claims about affect are used to establish authority, and the role of affect as an analytic tool and method in science studies. The second area, the productive entanglements between so-called “lay” and “expert” knowledge, emerges from her work on affect, because the social movements that have engaged medical authorities and patient groups have almost always had an affective dimension. Third, she looks at the modes through which information about scientific practice—as opposed to scientific findings—is communicated to different publics. Discourse about what science is or ought to be shapes both peopleʼs reception of scientific information and their personal investment in science as a form of knowledge.

Silverman’s research topics, including parent advocacy for autism and pollinator health research, serve as ways to explore these problems. In doing so, she uses a range of methods, including archival research, participant observation, open-ended interviews, and the close analysis of texts. She specializes in working collaboratively with scientists as a key means of studying scientific communities.
