About

Jane Calvert is a leading scholar in Science and Technology Studies (STS), whose work critically examines the spaces and practices of responsible research and innovation (RRI). Her research focuses on how scientists and engineers engage with ethical and societal considerations, particularly through unconventional, peripheral spaces that foster reflection and collaboration. In her most-cited work, "The Soba Restaurant and the Oyster Bar: Peripheral Spaces for Responsible Research and Innovation" (2024, 2025), Calvert and her co-authors explore how STS researchers create, inhabit, and navigate informal environments—such as restaurants and bars—to facilitate meaningful dialogue between disciplines. This innovative approach challenges traditional frameworks for RRI, emphasizing the importance of serendipity and spontaneity in shaping responsible science. With over 2,000 citations across her career, Calvert’s contributions have significantly influenced how scholars and practitioners understand the dynamics of interdisciplinary collaboration. Her work is widely recognized for bridging theory and practice, offering a fresh perspective on embedding ethics into scientific innovation. For students and researchers, Calvert’s research underscores the value of creative, non-traditional spaces in advancing responsible research.
