Overview
- Should science and technology be treated as separate entities?
- What impact has globalization had on science and technology?
- Can science be clearly distinguished from other forms of knowledge?
- Does the politicization of science really matter?
- Is there a role for the social regulation of scientific inquiry?
- Should we be worried about research fraud?
These questions are explored by examining an array of historical, philosophical and contemporary sources. Attention is paid, for example, to the Bruno Latour's The Politics of Nature as a model for science policy, as well as the global controversy surrounding Bjorn Lomborg's The Sceptical Environmentalist, which led to the dismantling and re-establishment of the Danish national research ethics board.
New Frontiers in Science and Technology Studies will appeal strongly to scholars and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in courses concerned with the social dimensions of science and technology, and anyone who cares about the future of science.
