Hey! I know I'm breathing life into a corpse here, but thanks for starting the thread. I'm interested in STS as well. I hadn't heard of HASTS @ MIT, so thank you for providing me with the reference. It sounds like a cool program. I'm also interested in identity and self in relation to technology, but my thoughts are inchoate in form and direction. More related to media studies and computing. Definitely linked to the bastard children of Continental Philosophy. Your project sounds awesome. I've yet to apply to any programs, though I just visited University of Indiana and was impressed by the amount of interdisciplinary communication that seems to be occurring between departments.
