Inspired by Torres-Olave and Bravo's original paper, entitled 'Facing Neoliberalism through Dialogic Spaces as Sites of Hopes in Science Education: Experiences of two Self-Organized Communities', the present essay considers potential contexts to resist neoliberal models of science education. This paper discusses affordances of themes and notions from domains of Science and Technology Studies (STS) to inform STEPWISE-informed pedagogies (Bencze 2017) that engage with (bio)political analyses of technoscience for social and environmental justice. Notions from STS highlighted include: 'sociotechnical imaginaries', 'emotive actants' and 'anthropocentric temporalities'. We illustrate these in relation to contemporary science and technology products and practices to highlight futures and subjects that they foreground and foreclose. We end by considering how such STS notions may extend areas of interest within science education (scholarship), through: (1) situating fields of (techno)science within their social and political sphere; (2) meeting future studies that seek to problematize individual perceptions of futures; (3) considering different forms of environmental activism beyond (personal) actions; and (4) contributing to an 'affective' science education.
