Recently, some prominent scientists have argued for blurring of the boundaries between scientific knowledge and religious convictions. People who do cultural studies of science and technology have drawn attention on scientific imagination of the "Third World" scientists. Moreover, the science-cities in the other parts of the world have created new niches for "science-gone-native." Given these ongoing discussions and events, the proposed "news group" could create a space for an interdisciplinary debate over the above issues. The common denominator of this suggested group with soc.culture* groups, as I see it, is twofold: 1-Many scientists and engineer have computer access and connection with internet or bitnet, especially those who work in large institutions. 2-Despite the fact that most people in soc.culture groups are scientists and engineers, there is no space for them to share their ideas and experiences as far as these issues are relevant to soc.culture, i.e., the social and cultural context of their professions. The intention and content of this news group: 1-The intention could be to encourage exchange of opinion, information, and have access to each other's experiences as engineers and scientists of various background. 2-The content could be constituted of a range of issues from religious to secular, biographical, woman and science, technological advances, to day-to-day events. Regards mazyar P.S. I am an PhD student in anthropology at Rice university, interested in cultural studies of science and technology.

Votes must be received by 2 Sep 1993, 23:59 UTC. This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. For voting questions only, contact [email protected] For questions about the proposed group, contact Mazyar Lotfalian <[email protected]>. A copy of this Call For Votes will be posted to the groups listed in the "X-Other-Newsgroups:" line after the original Call For Votes appears in news.announce.newgroups. STANDARD VOTING INFO You should send MAIL (posts to a group are invalid) to [email protected] (just replying by MAIL to this message should work). Your mail message should contain one and only one of the following statements: I vote YES on soc.culture.scientists or I vote NO on soc.culture.scientists You may add a comment, but anything other than a definite statement involving the group name and "yes", "no", "for", or "against" on a single line may be rejected by the automatic vote counting program. If you later change your mind you may also use send in an "abstain" vote in the same manner, using "abstain" in place of "yes" or "no". Votes will be acknowledged by e-mail; a list of bounced ACKs will be posted with the second Call For Votes. (A general mass ACK will not be posted.) You may send a message at any time to the vote-taker at the address above to inquire about the status of your vote. Standard Guidelines for voting apply - one vote per person (not per account). 100 more YES votes than NO votes and 2/3 of all votes being YES are the requirements for group creation. CHARTER Why "soc.culture.scientists"? ---------------------------- The soc.* hierarchy is home to many groups devoted to discussions of minority or regional issues (the soc.culture.* groups), as well as to groups interested in counterhegemonic (feminist) or other non-scientific, yet academic issues (e.g. soc.history). Soc.culture.scientists is supposed to combine many of these currents in "soc" thought, providing a home for the serious discussion of how science has been affected by its own globalization. The name of the group was chosen to reflect a decentering of the image of the scientist as a "universal man" -- to acknowledge and accept as a valid concern scientists' social settings, cultural backgrounds, and genders. Soc.culture.scientists explicitly encourages the scientists and engineers of different cultural background to participate in this newsgroup. What qualifies as a legitimate discussion? ------------------------------------------ -- Discussion about the education of scientists and the effect of their cultural background on their scientific praxis. -- Discussions of scientific praxis in a cross-cultural perspective -- Discussions of the metanarratives from which certain ideas about objectivity and scientific rationality gain their authority -- Discussions of specific Big Science projects that demonstrate the globalizing processes of modernity (e.g. international research cooperatives) -- Discussions of social/technological developments that have tended to make scientific endeavors culturally heterogeneous -- Discussions about the actual projects, science cities, and collaboration of scientists (i.e., different countries). -- Posting news from around the world with inclusion of sources. In general, anything which might be discussed at conferences or in academic programs devoted to science and technology studies, with the one major difference that this newsgroup automatically creates a culturally diverse context for the expression of personal viewpoints. What does NOT qualify as a legitimate discussion? ------------------------------------------------- This is tricky, because while discussions of the cultural contexts that have produced alternative scientific traditions such as (a lot of) X-Soviet Science and Vedic Science, etc., ought to be perfectly acceptable (insofar as they do not range into flamewars or simple-minded critiques of ideology), it is clear that this newsgroup should not be allowed to become a forum for the promulgation of highly eccentric, personal, "alternative" theories of science or the nature of the universe. As a general rule, this is not the place for describing any scientific theory unless that description is being used as part of a larger description of the social context in which that theory was produced. In short: We don't want to hear about why "time has inertia" or why certain crystals are good for my inner balance, but we wouldn't mind hearing about WHY "alternative" science enjoys some popularity today in many different places. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Huggins, Univ. of Michigan [email protected] "You cannot pray to a personal computer no matter how user-friendly it is." -- W.
