In this video, secondary school science teachers describe some history and characteristics of actor-network theory (ANT) - and, in doing so, describe how it is useful for analyzing phenomena and possibly changing them. This video provides teachers with suggestions and resources for encouraging and enabling students to eventually self-direct research-informed & negotiated action (RiNA) projects to overcome harms they determine in relationships among fields of science & technology and societies & environments (STSE). Resources associated with this video are provided through the links below.
