I am thrilled to announce the publication of a new book, titled Science Societies: Resources for Life in a Technoscientific World. As I write in the acknowledgements, this volume is inspired by my experiences teaching Science and Technology Studies (STS) to different audiences, and is an effort to draw together STS research on science, technology, and society to present an accessible account of how this knowledge can act as ‘resources for life in a technoscientific world’. My hope is that by synthesising scholarship on topics such as expertise, public participation in science, science in crisis and disaster, and the governance of science readers will be inspired to explore STS further and to critically engage with the role of technoscience in society.
If you’re interested in these topics, the book is out in paperback and can be purchased at this site. You are also welcome to write to sarah.davies@univie.ac.at for further details!
