They were also widely criticized for their increasingly close ties to military and governmental power--not only by outside activists but from among the ranks of scientists themselves. Disrupting Science tells the story of how scientists formed new protest organizations that democratized science and made its pursuit more transparent. The book explores how scientists weakened their own authority even as they invented new forms of political action. Drawing extensively from archival sources and in-depth interviews, Kelly Moore examines the features of American science that made it an attractive target for protesters in the early cold war and Vietnam eras, including scientists' work in military research and activities perceived as environmentally harmful. She describes the intellectual traditions that protesters drew from--liberalism, moral individualism, and the New Left--and traces the rise and influence of scientist-led protest organizations such as Science for the People and the Union of Concerned Scientists. Moore shows how scientist protest activities disrupted basic assumptions about science and the ways scientific knowledge should be produced, and recast scientists' relationships to political and military institutions. Disrupting Science reveals how the scientific community cumulatively worked to unbind its own scientific authority and change how science and scientists are perceived. In doing so, the book redefines our understanding of social movements and the power of insider-led protest. 410 0$aPrinceton studies in cultural sociology. 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aScience$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aScientists$zUnited States$xPolitical activity$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aScience$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aScientists$xPolitical activity$xHistory 676 $a509.73 686 $aMS 1120$2rvk 700 $aMoore$b Kelly$f1962-$01408684 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963904003321 996 $aDisrupting science$94335793 997 $aUNINA
