Handbook of STS

The Handbook of Science and Technology Studies

FIFTH EDITION

The next Handbook of Science and Technology Studies is in the planning stages. Rather than a single volume, the 4S has decided to experiment with new formats, expanded content and an open access commitment, in collaboration with MIT Press. We are currently looking for scholars interested in designing this new volume, and becoming part of an editors team. To get involved or for more information, please contact ckelty@ucla.edu.

The Handbook of Science and Technology Studies

2016 MIT PRESS. FOURTH EDITION

Edited by Ulrike Felt, Rayvon Fouché, Clark A. Miller and Laurel Smith-Doerr

Science and Technology Studies (STS) is a flourishing interdisciplinary field that examines the transformative power of science and technology to arrange and rearrange contemporary societies. The Handbook of Science and Technology Studies provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the field, reviewing current research and major theoretical and methodological approaches in a way that is accessible to both new and established scholars from a range of disciplines. This new edition, sponsored by the Society for Social Studies of Science, is the fourth in a series of volumes that have defined the field of STS. It features 36 chapters, each written for the fourth edition, that capture the state of the art in a rich and rapidly growing field. One especially notable development is the increasing integration of feminist, gender, and postcolonial studies into the body of STS knowledge.

This volume represents the social constructivist turn of the field. It is evident that social constructivism made a major impact on the field during the 1970s and 1980s. The diverse papers included here highlight the role of ethnography in STS. In addition, we are exposed to new perspectives of the multicultural and gendered nature of knowledge production. — Science, Technology, and Society
