The Critique of Science Becomes Academic
Science, Technology and Human Values 18 (2):247-259 (1993)
Abstract
The author uses personal experiences to introduce the view that the critique of science, on entering the academy in the form of the sociology of scientific knowledge, has become increasingly remote from crucial social issues and social movements confronting it. By linking their analyses more with such issues and movements, science studies scholars can serve a more useful social purpose and also reinvigorate their theory.My notes
