Yhteenveto:This Encyclopedia provides a comprehensive overview of the expanding field of science and technology studies (STS). Covering key frameworks, themes and topics, Ulrike Felt and Alan Irwin bring together expert contributors to map the development of STS within its historical and intellectual context. Emphasizing the significant intellectual diversity within STS, entries adopt a broad range of conceptual and methodological approaches. They investigate themes including participation and engagement, controversy studies, time and temporality, and science and technology policy-making. Ultimately, the Encyclopedia highlights the main ideas and practices within STS and contributes to building the intellectual identity of this dynamic field. The Elgar Encyclopedia of Science and Technology Studies is an essential resource for students and scholars of STS, as well as the social sciences more broadly. It is also an invaluable read for policy advisors and scientists seeking a socio-technical perspective on technoscientific issues such as big data, AI, and innovation.
