Labs of Our Own

"With clarity and care, Giordano investigates how race, gender, sexuality, and capitalism position us in relationship to capitalist science while showing the multiplicity of sciences flourishing outside it in DIY lab spaces. Dwelling with 'tinkerers,' practitioners of science outside of capitalism’s well-funded labs, this book imagines the possibilities of a better, more just science in solidarity with Black, decolonial, and other feminisms." ~Kalindi Vora, author of Reimagining Reproduction: Essays on Surrogacy, Labor, and Technologies of Human Reproduction

"As students and academic workers speak out about university complicities in empire and accumulation, Sig Giordano's Labs of Our Own offers a heartfelt and street-smart pathway to the scientific works we need and the scientific cultures we need to leave behind. An essential read for teachers, scientists, tech workers, and anyone else who cares about how we make knowledge about our worlds." ~Lilly Irani, author of Chasing Innovation: Making Entrepreneurial Citizens in Modern India
