Beskrivning
What role do science and technology play in society? What is the nature of expert knowledge? What is science’s relation to democracy?This introduction to science, technology, and society answers these questions, and more, by exploring contemporary research on topics such as expertise, activism, science policy, and innovation. It offers a comprehensive resource for considering the place that science and technology have in contemporary societies, and the roles that they can and should play.Accessible to a non-specialist audience, it draws on a rich range of cases and examples, from nuclear activism in India to content moderation in Kenya. Framing science as always social, and society as always shaped by science and technology, it asks: what worlds do we want science and technology to bring into being?

Recensioner i media

“Ever wondered how culture and society shape science and vice versa? Then this marvellous book is for you. It's full of interesting examples and reflections. You'll never think about science and technology in the same way again.” Deborah Lupton, University of New South Wales“The COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and artificial intelligence are reminders of one of the biggest challenges societies face: how should we live with and make decisions about science and technology? Powered by the latest research in Science and Technology Studies, Sarah R. Davies takes a giant step forward in understanding the place of science in society. This book will be a vital resource for years to come.” Jack Stilgoe, University College London
