Publisher Description
The Handbook of Science and Technology Studies is the most authoritative and extensive resource in the field. This volume represents the social constructivist turn of the field, which has made a major impact during the 1970s and 1980s. The diverse papers included here highlight the role of ethnography in STS. In addition, we are exposed to new perspectives of the multicultural and gendered nature of knowledge production. Expertly edited with contributions from internationally renowned academics, this edition addresses the crucial contemporary issues - both traditional and non-traditional - in social studies, policy studies, and humanistic studies of science and technology studies. This book is not only an important resource for practitioners, but it also may help to spark the curiosity of those who are outside the field - including scientist and engineers themselves - and so pull the 'half-seen world' of science and technology studies even more fully into the light of day.
