Bio: Maria Rentetzi’s interest is on the cultural history and social studies of the physical sciences. A physicist by training, she earned her PhD in science and technology studies at Virginia Tech (VT), USA. Throughout her work, Rentetzi brings together gender studies, the history of material culture, architecture, and politics to better understand the relationship between power and knowledge production in the nuclear sciences. She was recently awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant to explore the history of radiation protection and the role the International Atomic Energy Agency has played as a diplomatic and political international institution in shaping radiation policies and nuclear diplomacies. Rentetzi is currently guest professor at the Technical University Berlin and Professor at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. She is president of the Commission Women and Gender in Science, Technology, and Medicine of the International Union of the History and Philosophy of Science (IUHPS/DHST); corresponding member of the International Academy of the History of Science; member of the Council of the IUHPST. Her forthcoming co-authored publications include Boxes: A Field Guide (Mattering Press), Nuclear Diplomacies: Their Past, Present and Future, (special issue, History and Technology); The Material Culture and Politics of Artifacts in Nuclear Diplomacy (special issue, Centaurus). |
