The NSF grant \u2013 \u201cEquity and Inclusion in Research Failure Disclosure\u201d (2023-24) \u2013 organized a conference at University of Virginia, June 11-13, 2024, which invited dozens of the nation\u2019s top women in science, technology, engineering and math do articulate the topic of \u201cfailure disclosure in STEM\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclosing Failure showed how disruptions to the idea of science do not come from the outside, a noncompliant public, but from the limits science itself imposes on its &#8220;palatability&#8221; and inclusion dynamics. Disclosing Failure joined a diverse group of STEM practitioners from a wide variety of institutions and renowned failure scholars for three days of community connections, papers and presentations, and ample opportunity to enjoy Virginia&#8217;s outdoor wonders and historical sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.failuredisclosure2024.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-green-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><strong>UW Seminar<strong>: Failure Regimes: Economization, Creolization and Moralization of Failing<\/strong><\/strong>, <strong>6-7 May 2024, Warsaw<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Failure Lab UW: Failure Regimes \/ Univ. of Warsaw 2024 (Catherine Alexander, Costica Bradatan)\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WVfZbzxtxBQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Critical failure studies have made a major breakthrough when it comes to the theoretical framing and methodological imaginary of failure.

The power of failure concerns in fact the social life in its entirety.
