doc. Mgr. Tereza Stöckelová, Ph.D.

Education

2008 - Ph.D. in sociology, Charles University, Prague

Focus

I specialize in the social studies of science, technology, and medicine. My current research focuses on algorithmically and pharmacologically mediated forms of corporeality and on emerging food technologies in the Anthropocene. I am part of the global collaboration Bodies by Prescription, which examines how technological innovations in the field of peptides — substances designed to influence metabolism, appetite, and body composition — are significantly reshaping everyday life and social worlds. I serve as a rapporteur for UNESCO’s World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology (COMEST) and as a member of the ALLEA Task Force “Strengthening Trust in Science.”
