STS Concepts

pictureFor many years I have been working alongside a number of eminent Science and Technology Studies researchers. During that time I have come across many concepts that at first baffled me, then intrigued me and then prompted me to dig into their conceptual history. This blog provided me with a good space to engage in this type of conceptual digging. However, as my conceptual archaeology is scattered all over the blog, I thought it is time to bring my blog posts on these matters together in one place.

Core concepts

Regulatory science

Publics

Publicness
