And how do gendered understandings figure into our wonderings? More often seen as the domain of art or religion, wonderment offers underexplored territory with respect to science and technology, and the ways in which both scientists and non-scientists respond to the worlds and possibilities opened up through science. The theme of wonder loosely draws together threads of knowledge making and the workings of the world with questions of ethics, curiosity and awe. At the same time, it draws attention to processes of wondering, and therefore to how our approaches to science shape how knowledge is produced, and how sciences and technologies are forms of world making.</span></p><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 3pt; "><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; "><font face="Avenir-Light" class="">This postgraduate workshop aims to open up a conversation across the sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities on the gendered dimensions of scientific and technological knowledge. It will explore how institutional, social and technical practices engender science, speaking to pressing questions of women’s participation in the STEM disciplines. But it also takes questions of gender and science beyond demographic and institutional factors, into the kinds of gendered understandings and imaginaries that are fostered by and shape knowledge in science and technology.<o:p class=""></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;
