This moderated conversation event on 'Embodied Engagements' features two
prominent STS researchers whose work uniquely engages with the workshop
theme of situated practice. The discussion will touch on topics such as:

   - How we situate ourselves in relation to our objects of study
   - Methods for enacting situated practices of research
   - The role of 'place' in orienting research (especially in the context
   of the settler-colonies of Australia and Aoteroa New Zealand)
   - And how an attentiveness to 'situatedness' might also help us to build
   better practices of care

This free event is part of AusSTS 2021: Situated Practice - A multi-sited
workshop

All are welcome to attend.

*About the speakers:*

*Dr Kane Race* is Professor of Gender and Cultural Studies at the
University of Sydney. He began work as an HIV social scientist when
combination antiretroviral therapy was introduced to treat the disease in
1996 and has explored the impact of this event on HIV prevention practices
and gay culture in work spanning the fields of HIV research, sociology and
queer and cultural studies. He is also interested in the politics of drugs
and is the author of Pleasure Consuming Medicine: the queer politics of
drugs (2009) and The Gay Science: intimate experiments with the problem of
HIV (2018).

*Dr Anne Galloway* is Associate Professor in Design for Social Innovation
and founder of the More-Than-Human Lab at Victoria University of
Wellington. Anne is a multispecies anthropologist and speculative design
ethnographer. Her work focusses on farmed animal life in all its
complexity, and she writes and speaks regularly on human-animal relations
and creative research methods. More importantly, Anne keeps a small flock
of rare breed sheep that has transformed her research and everyday life in
ways she never imagined.

*About the chair:*

*Dr Kiran Pienaar *is a lecturer in Sociology at Deakin University,
Melbourne Australia. Kiran's work explores connections between health,
