Yeah, I sense a lot of disagreement in STS about disciplines. Some want to be one. Some want to be a meeting space for existing ones. Some want to throw the very concept to the dogs.

There have been co-located HSS/4S/SHOT/PSA conferences. It would be super interesting to keep track how much actual "crossover" there is between them in terms of attendance, papers, etc. I have gut intuitions about who crosses over to who (and who doesn't) but nothing systematic.

I considered attending HSS but decided since this was the one conference no one had encouraged me to attend, that was a sign. 4S and SHOT by contrast a previous attendee encouraged me to apply/invited me to speak.

"HSS is the best you should attend it" — how is that for future attendance decisions?
They each have a different "flavor" to them (and different, though sometimes overlapping, groups of people), for better and worse. -
This is why it's important to go to conferences even when it seems "early"! How better to discover which flavor you like best than by meeting the communities?
