Science And Technology Studies
Science and Technology Studies (STS) is an interdisciplinary field that examines the relationship between science, technology, and society. It explores how scientific knowledge and technological innovations are created, disseminated, and utilized, as well as their social, cultural, and political implications. STS scholars analyze the ways in which science and technology shape human experiences and societal structures.
The field draws on various disciplines, including sociology, history, and philosophy, to understand the complexities of scientific practices and technological developments. By investigating issues such as ethics, policy, and public perception, STS aims to foster a deeper understanding of how science and technology influence everyday life and societal progress.
