About TASKS
Founded in 2024 at City College, CUNY, TASKS brings together empirically and theoretically-minded researchers of science, knowledge, and society to discuss and workshop new writing. We welcome researchers coming from disciplinary perspectives, such as from sociology, political science, anthropology, and history, as well as interdiscplinary insights, including science and technology studies, gender studies, and socio-legal studies.
