John Law's paper and the forum that builds on it- freely available now

John Law was awarded the 2015 Bernal Prize for his outstanding contribution to the field of STS. Upon receiving this award, Law delivered a speech premised on the structure of an article entitled “Provincializing STS: Postcoloniality, Symmetry, and Method,” co-authored by Law and the current EASTS editor Wen-yuan Lin. In his talk, Law, instead of recapitulating what he had done in the previous research, proposed his latest approach of using “non-Western” concepts as analytical tools on his experiment.
