Lucy Gao (Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing) and Mike Hales (Barefoot Documents, Brighton) developed a presentation for the Sydney 2018 meeting of 4S (Society for Social Studies in Science). The session topic is: *Lives in STS as a series of failed political experiments?*
> *STS: Science & technology studies, an academic research field, embracing sociological, anthropological, historical, policy and management aims in research and in development.*
The session was organised by Peter Taylor ((University of Massachusetts, Boston, editorial Board of *Science as Culture*, where Gary’s 2007 article appeared (see research notes, below), and which took over from RSJ in the 80s).
The presentation addresses **Professionals’ lives as ongoing experiments - in a field of class**. It's an animated slide presentation. - Streaming video is here [YouTube](https://youtu.be/9yD1sCz3aDU) - Downloadable here [m4v](https://cloud.owncube.com/s/BbTXAY2af6t7N9N)
Sydney 4S 2018 research notes. A number of research notes were prepared. The collection includes the Werskey 2007 article and 'Lives in STS' interview transcripts.
The text of the presentation has been submitted \[May 2019] to *Science as Culture* as 'Professionals’ lives as ongoing experiments - in a field of class': submitted version is with the above research notes. The presentation/article considers two 'lives in STS', in the 70s and the present day, in Britain and in China, within a context originating in the 30s, in Britain and Soviet Russia.
