While Kaushik Sunder Rajan is the primary organizer of the Knowledge / Value meetings, they are being collaboratively conceptualized by a core research group. This consists of his colleagues in Anthropology at the University of Chicago, as well as some close interlocutors from other disciplines and departments in the United States and the United Kingdom. In the process, the hope is that the series will benefit from the strengths of Chicago’s Anthropology Department in addressing questions of political economy and value; will provide a venue where certain longer-term intellectual agendas that can be traced back to nodal conversations at the intersection of anthropology and STS can be continued (for which, especially, the Late Editions series of the 1990s is a crucial marker); and can bring in networks and conversations from other disciplines that are complementary to those which we wish to activate in the anthropology of science.

The other members of the core research group that is involved in conceptualizing this series are:
