SIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Science- and technology studies (STS) focuses on the close interaction between scientific knowledge, technological artefacts and society. In light of widespread beliefs that contemporary societies are particularly vulnerable and knowledge-intense, STS research has an increasingly important role in social science research. Exploring how knowledge claims are presented and comparing it with the practises of knowledge production, STS researchers often find tensions and gaps of importance to highlight between how science is performed and talked about.
