Science Studies is an
interdisciplinary field of research that takes the sciences in
all their complexity—their practice, their history and
socio-cultural formation, their philosophical underpinnings,
their impact on our lives—as a subject for systematic
investigation. The point of departure is, for many, an appreciation that science is a jointly intellectual, material, and social enterprise; it brings diverse resources to bear on the project of constructing stable, reliable systems of knowledge about the natural and social world. It is the goal of Science Studies to understand how such knowledge is produced and authorized, what distinguishes it as scientific knowledge, how it evolves and is inflected by the contexts of its production, and what its normative implications are: what ethical obligations and other forms of accountability constitute "research integrity" in particular contexts of practice. < back |
