Extractions: A unique collaboration across the boundaries of the modern research university to promote the understanding of science, technology and medicine as human enterprises. Science and technology studies (STS) is a growing field of study that seeks to understand how science and technology shape human lives and livelihoods and how society and culture, in turn, shape the development of science and technology. By focusing scholarly attention on science and technology as human institutions, situated in wider historical, social, and political contexts, STS provides insights into the relationship between science and technology and such basic categories of social thought as race and gender, poverty and development, trust and credibility, participation and democracy, health and pathology, risk and uncertainty, globalization, and environmental protection.

Real-world Experiments Strategies For Robust Ecological Design
Contains project overview and goals, research team listing and links to CVs and contact information. Located at the Institute for Science and Technology Studies (IWT), Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany.
http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/iwt/projekte/realworld/science/realworld.html

Extractions: Strategies for Robust Ecological Design This project examines various types of human intervention in ecological systems with the aim of developing a theory of "real-world experiments" that can help make these interventions more successful. Large-scale ecological interventions - such as adaptive management in dune restoration, landscape design, lake restoration or waste management - can best be understood as real-world experiments. This project is thus based on: the observation that ecological design is increasingly omnipresent; the judgement that many ecological interventions are neither socially robust nor based on sound scientific knowledge; and the hypothesis that ecological interventions should be conceived as real-world experiments to avoid these pitfalls.

Extractions: People Pages Return to Skip Menu Return to Skip Menu The Science and Technology Studies (STS) program at Virginia Tech explores the relationship between science, technology, and society using both disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches. In the past two decades numerous interdisciplinary graduate programs in STS have emerged primarily at major research universities. Virginia Tech is the largest of these programs in the U.S. with more than 50 affiliated faculty and over 70 graduate students enrolled both in the National Capital Region and at the main campus in Blacksburg. Students in the STS program come from a wide range of backgrounds including: history, anthropology/sociology, philosophy, the natural and physical sciences, engineering, and numerous professional disciplines. The research and scholarly pursuits of students and faculty cross a wide range of disciplinary boundaries. Graduates emerge with an ability to identify and examine the conceptual and social dimensions of science and technology simultaneously and in historical perspective. Students can earn an M.S. or Ph.D. degree at the Northern Virginia Center in Falls Church. Certificates are also offered in:

How did an international community transform a military research project into the Internet we use today? What is the relationship between the mathematical descriptions that physicists employ and the nature of physical phenomena? Answering these and related questions requires a firm foundation in both science and engineering disciplines on the one hand, and humanities and social sciences on the other.

Extractions: About Us Site Search Contact Us New @ STU ... Alumni Discovering Science and Technology Studies A key ingredient in a well-rounded education is an understanding of the ways in which science and technology interact with other aspects of society. This is the focus of Science and Technology Studies (STS) at St. Thomas University. STS courses explore issues associated with modern science and technology from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective. Drawing on liberal arts subjects in the humanities and social sciences, STS courses examine a broad range of topics including: new reproductive technologies, recent developments in genetic engineering, the relation between science and religion, the political influence on science, the environmental impact of human development on animal populations, and the sources of human disease. Integrated in approach, courses investigate the ethical, social, environmental, and legal issues associated with STS topics. Choosing Science and Technology Studies A Field of Study for Our Times STS is a relatively new field of study. STS students learn about current research topics, how scientists conduct their research and how emerging technologies become an integral part of society. Students are exposed to significant issues that emerge when developments in science and technology affect individual and community interests. Students also study the social, cultural, and intellectual contexts which shape these developments.
