Science Studies
Science Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the social, cultural, and historical contexts of science and technology. It explores how scientific knowledge is produced, validated, and disseminated, as well as the impact of science on society. This field draws from various disciplines, including sociology, history, and philosophy.
Researchers in Science Studies analyze the relationships between science and public policy, ethics, and education. They investigate how factors like gender, race, and class influence scientific practices and access to technology. By understanding these dynamics, Science Studies aims to promote a more equitable and informed approach to science and its applications.
