  1. Working Practices of the Menopause Clinic.Marilys Guillemin - 2000 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 25 (4):449-471.
    Although there are many possible ways of understanding menopause, it is the notion of menopause as hormone deficiency that currently dominates. How is it that this account remains prevalent rather than some alternative understanding of menopause?

  • Investigating Emerging Biomedical Practices: Zones of Awkward Engagement on Different Scales.Stefan Beck, Jörg Niewöhner & Michalis Kontopodis - 2011 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 36 (5):599-615.
    This special issue of Science, Technology, & Human Values critically explores a new stage in which the life sciences and biomedical practices have entered.
