It then connects to historical and postcolonial Science and Technology Studies (STS) work to guide the research papers towards investigating (a) the emergence and shaping of regionally-specific situated constellations of science, technology and socio-ecological change, and (b) how inequitable transnational and postcolonial relations mattered to those situated histories. It concludes by introducing the different s.i. contributions.
