Conclusion.Science, Technology and Society: An Introduction provides students with an accessible overview of the interdisciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). The discipline breaks down traditional conceptions of knowledge as universal, neutral and ahistorical, and takes a more critical approach to science and technology as social embedded phenomena. This comprehensive textbook makes use of unique examples and case studies to illustrate theoretical debates and concepts. In addition, the reader acquires a unique vision of contemporary issues (such as the power of algorithms, the mystification of fake news, the role of experts within the decision-making process, for example). Each chapter incorporates pedagogically rich features, including interactive discussion points to be used individually or in class as prompts for debate.ScienceSocial aspectsHuman geographyApplied anthropologyScienceHistorySciencePhilosophyCommunication in scienceScience and Technology StudiesHuman GeographyApplied AnthropologyHistory of SciencePhilosophy of ScienceScience CommunicationScienceSocial aspects.Human geography.Applied anthropology.ScienceHistory.SciencePhilosophy.Communication in science.Science and Technology Studies.Human Geography.Applied Anthropology.History of Science.Philosophy of Science.Science Communication.303.483303.483Gobo Giampietro142123Marcheselli ValentinaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910640387703321Science, technology and society3362778UNINA
