About the Network

By networking scholars across the UC system with interests in studying science and technology, we hope to:

1. Deepen knowledge of each campus's faculty and course offerings;
2. Build on UC's provisions for intercampus cooperation in supervising graduate students;
3. Work together in inviting visitors and planning events;
4. Develop collaborations in research and teaching;
5. Collectively fundraise for programs and student support;
6. Lay the groundwork for multicampus grant proposals;
7. Invigorate our scholarship with our variety of perspectives.

In 2005-06 the University of California Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI) supported the development of the UC Network after Charis Thompson (UCB), Adele Clarke (UCSF), and James Griesemer (UCD) submitted a grant for its creation. UCHRI sponsored doctoral candidate Carrie Friese (UCSF, Medical Sociology) and the Science, Technology, and Society Center (UCB) to coordinate initial development. International and Area Studies (UCB) hosted its implementation by providing office and web facilities as well as support staff.
