The Handbook of Science and Technology Studies, 3rd ed

摘要

Sts is a flourishing interdisciplinary field of study now some four decades old. Thus, as STS has matured it is not surprising that there should be an attempt at providing an overview of the field, one that at once seeks to review the conceptual foundations, assess key theoretical and methodological approaches, and treat emerging issues worthy of continued engagement by scholars, both established and those new to the field, as well as other professionals interested in the analysis of technoscientific-related policy, social change, and consequences. This Handbook is in fact the third such attempt, following those of Ina Spiegel-Rosing and Derek de Solla Price, eds., Science, Technology, and Society: A Cross-Disciplinary Perspective (1977), and Sheila Jasanoff, Gerald E. Markle, James C. Petersen, and Trevor Pinch, eds., Handbook of Science and Technology Studies (1995).
