Thematic collection examines how location influences microbes in various contexts, highlighting their significance.
Issue 11.1 includes the thematic collection “Situating Microbes.” The collected essays on microbe studies in STS aims to situates microbes in complex ecologies beyond their pathogenic formations. All the articles in this issue render invisible microbes visible by walking us through different sociomaterial contexts. These detailed explorations not only provide a deeper understanding of “situated microbes” but also addresses how location matters. This resonates well with and contributes to the ESTS’s endeavors over the last five years of our editorial tenure.
