	Science & Technology Studies and Constructive Technology Assessment
		This runs from intellectual engagement with the icons of rationality and modernity, and an interest in the broad sweep of history with science and technology as integral factors, to a sense of mission, defending or criticizing progress as it is predicated on the continuing role of science and technology.
		Science is scrutinized for its relevance, scientists become active in society, disciplines interact and fuse into new combinations; science and technology become integrated in ‘strategic’ science and technology, and link up with expectations in policy and in society.
		It drew on science and technology studies, and was able to paint a persuasive picture, in spite of the fragmented nature of the field.

	Science studies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Science studies is an interdisciplinary research area that seeks to situate scientific expertise in a broad social, historical, and philosophical context.
		The word "studies" is used (as opposed to, for example, theory) because most science studies practitioners investigate particular phenomena (technological milieus, laboratory culture, science policy, the role of the university, etc.) without subscribing to a particular view of the topic.
		Science studies is best understood as a moment in a steadily widening conversation, in which scholars with interests in the social, historical, and philosophical analysis of science and technology have achieved a succession of wider integrations.

	Science and technology studies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Science studies, a branch of the sociology of scientific knowledge that places scientific controversies in their social context.
		Science, technology, and society In the mid- to late-1960s, student and faculty social movements in the U.S., UK, and European universities helped to launch a range of new interdiscplinary fields (such as Women's Studies) that were seen to address relevant topics that the traditional curriculum ignored.
		Science, engineering, and public policy studies emerged in the 1970s from the same concerns that motivated the founders of the science, technology, and society movement: A sense that science and technology were developing in ways that were increasingly at odds with the public’s best interests.

	Technology as applied science
		Scholars in science and technologies studies talk about a “pure science ideology” or “scientific ideology.” Stereotyping applied science as a dull and mindless practice that generates no new knowledge, the ideology grossly distorts both pure and applied science.
		Science generally means state of knowing or possessing knowledge that is sufficiently general, clearly conceptualized, carefully reasoned, systematically organized, critically examined, and empirically tested.
		According to subject matter, science can be analyzed into many sciences: natural sciences such as physics or biology, engineering sciences such as communication and control, social sciences such as economics, human sciences such as psychology.

	Introduction to Science and Technology Studies (June 2)
		Science and technology are, we presume, reflections of nature.
		Science describes the reality of the world, and technology applies science to the things that we as humans want to do.
		Craft examples from political science and one other discipline where something that you know about the discipline tells us something about how science and technology function as social practices (i.e., how they shape and are shaped by social and political structures, principles, and practices).

	STS and IT
		One of the primary elements of an STS-informed understanding of technology is that we must go beyond asserting that technology is "just a tool." This instrumental approach has been replaced by a growing understanding of technology as both an expression of and constitutive of meaning in the society that produces and is produced by it.
		Thus, technologies are deployed, but they also employ and engage human beings and nature in such a manner that a continuity among the three arises that prevents any essentialist isolations of one from the other.
		Technology is not simply the computer, for example, but large-scale computer networks linked through telecommunications systems; it is command-and-control systems; it is data banks, the know-how and the software to manipulate them, and the power implicit in controlling them.
