Members of the Faculty Committee on Science and Technology Studies work with graduate students in a number of areas. For example: environmental sociology, medical sociology, STS, and social movements  Most of them have presented at the Society for the Social Study of Science, and several have published in Science, Technology, and Human Values. Tara Nummedal has done prelim fields in the History of Science and is currently doing one on the History of Medicine . She also serves on two STS-related dissertation committees: one is for Oded Rabinovitch (History), who is writing about the family strategies of scholars in 17th-century France, and the other is for Jacqueline Wernimont (English), who is completing a dissertation on early modern literature and mathematics.

    Extractions: Cornell University Cornell University Library SEARCH: VIVO Cornell graduate field Science and Technology Studies is a complex interdisciplinary field that examines science and engineering from the point of view of the humanistic and social science traditions. Students explore topics at the forefront of intellectual discourse in science and technology studies, as well as the social and intellectual contexts that have shaped these areas. Students interested in historical, philosophical or contemporary scientific and technological issues apply the methods of history of science, philosophy of science, sociology of science, political studies of science, and other relevant fields to careful analysis of ongoing problems. The field has specific course requirements. All students are expected to take, prior to their Admission to Candidacy examination, four specifically introductory theoretical and methodological courses in three of four subject areas: history, philosophy, sociology, and politics of science and technology, as well as a one-semester seminar intended as an introduction to the field as a whole. At least four of the courses taken during the student's first year should be Science and Technology Studies courses.

    Extractions: Search Cornell Search Chronicle Online Oct. 8, 2008 Science and Technology Studies: From effects of iPods to what happens when humans reshape rivers By Claudia Wheatley When Trevor Pinch, professor of science and technology studies, watches students on campus plugged into their iPods, he thinks about how technology shapes the way we experience sound in general and music in particular. Pinch said that when people walking by the basement workshop of Robert Moog, Ph.D. '64, heard an early Moog synthesizer, some would say, "'What is this weird stuff?' In 1964-65, no one had been exposed to electronic sound at all," says Pinch, who wrote a book about Moog in 2002. "Now we are totally saturated by it. There really has been dramatic change, and we don't know too much about it." "It's the 21st century, but most universities don't have an academic unit dedicated to studying the social and historical aspects of science and technology," says Stephen Hilgartner, chair of the Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS). "That's a bit odd. Understanding science and technology and how they fit into social relations has become really important." To encourage scholars to pursue just this kind of understanding, STS was established in 1991. Formed by merging longstanding Cornell programs on the history, philosophy and impact of science and technology, the department has become a model for similar programs around the country. "Cornell is the first Ivy League university to have an STS department that I know of," says Pinch, who has been with STS since its inception and served as its chair for eight years. "We did it as an experiment, and it's been a successful experiment. Cornell is leading the world in this."

HIST aims at strengthening research and graduate education in the field of science and technology studies (STS), not only in the two founding universities but in Finland at large. Its ambition is to become Finland’s focal point for internationally recognized STS activity. The key objectives of HIST fall under two broad categories: to advance research and graduate education in the STS field, and to strengthen the institutional basis of STS and other closely related fields of research in Finland. More specifically, the research and education activities of HIST focus on

The material below is a very brief introduction, and we apologize for making it appear much more simplistic and "flat" than the field of STS is. For more information, you can always start with the list of print and digital resources listed below. One of the primary elements of an STS-informed understanding of technology is that we must go beyond asserting that technology is "just a tool." This instrumental approach has been replaced by a growing understanding of technology as both an expression of and constitutive of meaning in the society that produces and is produced by it. We can think of technology from several perspectives: The ontological - what is technology?
