A podcast exploring research and teaching underway in Science and Technology Studies (STS) at UCL. Learn more about the subject, the people, and the careers. Learn more about how you can join us.
Our overall goal for the podcast is to help teachers, applicants, and influencers answer questions about our subject:
- What is STS?
- What does work in the subject involve?
- Why would I want to do it, too?
- What do people do with an STS degree?
- Is this career direction for me?

About WeAreSTS
Episodes explore research or teaching themes that are part of Science and Technology Studies (STS). Some episodes will be interviews about active research projects. Other episodes will support STS subjects in teaching or public engagement. We also have career-focused episodes interviewing STS alumni about life after university: how did they make that transition into their working life, and what advice do they have for those thinking about studying with us.
BONUS episodes showcase special projects. They’ll allow listeners to hear expert discussions about topics as diverse as science policy making, science in the media, philosophy of information, history of dinosaurs, sociology of science, and history of technology.
We also have episodes contributed from the STSNewsRoom.
WeAreSTS is available for listening on Apple Podcast, Spotify, SoundCloud and most other podcast listening apps. You also can find us on Libsyn. Individual episodes also can be played directly though our online posts.

STS students are invited to volunteer to help with WeAreSTS. Do a little. Do a lot. Here's our call for participation. We have many ways students can be involved with interviews, production, and project development. We also encourage freelance development from STS students and staff.
