„LaSST provides a unique opportunity to foster public engagement with the impact of science and technologies in contemporary societies.“

„At Goethe University Frankfurt, LaSST is an intensely interdisciplinary endeavour, combining Cultural Anthropology, Sociology and Human Geography. I am excited to be part of it!“

„During my Ph.D. research, I came to appreciate the LaSST as a hub of creativity and interdisciplinarity, combined with international junctions.“

„The program taught me the best of experimental ethnography: a toolkit for doing internationally relevant research and a broad imagination for what STS can become.“
