• The Politics of Sustainability and Development (2016, background): “These are read sometimes as sociotechnical imaginaries, whereby social and technical elements are brought together (200).”
• Big Data in Education: The digital future of learning, policy and practice (2017, background): “Drawing from Jasanoff (2015) and many others (e.g., Huxley, 2007; Mager, 2015), Williamson (2017) defines sociotechnical imaginaries as future visions of society as reflected in technical projects.”
• Ordering theories: Typologies and conceptual frameworks for sociotechnical change (2017, unknown): “…action is always purposively rational, and it emphasizes a performative element to technology that ‘unlike mere ideas and fashions, sociotechnical imaginaries are collective, durable, capable of being performed; yet they are also temporally situated and culturally particular’ (Jasanoff, 2015a: 19).”
