I recently had an opportunity to speak with Aybike Alkan of the Istanbul Science Technology Society about my book, Hawking Incorporated. The interview, part of their Feminist Technoscience Interview Series, can be found on the ISTS website.

Through fieldwork with Professor Hawking and his staff, Hélène developed the insights that led to her book Hawking, Incorporated. Now, reflecting on the death of a titan in the worlds of science and science popularization, she offers her thoughts in The Atlantic.

Recent talks and events that Hélène has participated in include:

• "The thinking person’s disease” Department of History and Civilization at the European University in Florence (May 2017).
  
•  “Where has STS Traveled? Celebrating 40th Anniversary of the Inaugural Meeting of the Society for Social Science,” Discussant of Steve Woolgar and Karin Knorr Cetina’s interventions, (October, 2016). [VIDEO FORTHCOMING]
•  “The Body in Translation,” Workshop, Peter Sather Center, Oslo (June, 2016).
  
•  “From Hawking to the Quantified Self and Beyond: The Nexus of Human-Machine Interaction,” Department of Technology, Culture and Society, NYU (February, 2016).
  

On the occasion of Stephen Hawking's 75th birthday, January 8, Helene has published an op-ed exploring how society might evolve in response to Hawking's predictions for AI. The article is hosted by CASTAC (Committee for the Anthropology of Science, Technology & Computing), a part of the American Anthropological Association.

Hélène's recent talk at Les entretiens du nouveau monde industriel 2016 is now available to watch online. The talk was delivered in French, and can be viewed here.

Hélène will be among the international roster of speakers discussing the philosophical and anthropological impacts and implications of the shifting frontiers of biomedicine, artificial intelligence, the data economy, and transhumanism.

Speaking at Les entretiens du nouveau monde industriel 2016, hosted at the Pompideau Centre, Hélène's panel begins at 10:00 am, December 14, 2016. and will address questions arising from augmented bodies, artificial intelligence, and society.

The talk is free to attend, but registration is requested.

Hélène will be joining the faculty of the Department of Science and Technology Studies at York University.
