STS
STS, or Science and Technology Studies, is an interdisciplinary field that examines the relationship between science, technology, and society. It explores how scientific knowledge and technological innovations are developed, implemented, and understood within social contexts. STS scholars analyze the impacts of these developments on culture, politics, and everyday life.
The field draws on various disciplines, including sociology, history, and philosophy, to investigate issues such as the ethical implications of new technologies and the role of public engagement in scientific research. By studying these interactions, STS aims to foster a deeper understanding of how science and technology shape human experiences and societal structures.
