"Ways of Knowing" is the theme of the 2007 annual meeting of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S). The meeting will be held October 11-13, 2007 in Montreal, Canada, at the Doubletree by Hilton Montreal.rnAccording to conference organizers, this year's 4S meeting theme grew out of a recognition that individuals and societies have many ways of knowing and historically have valued some of these ways of knowing more than others. But how have they determined the "one way of knowing as 'the right one' or 'the natural one'"? Conference sessions will examine "how people, groups, or cultures hold more than one way of knowing, and whether this is stable, durable, or problematic."
