Heterogeneous Agendas around Public Engagement in Stem Cell Research
Although public engagement is now part of the business of doing science, there is considerable divergence about what the term means and what public engagement ought to be doing. This paper refl ects on these heterogeneous meanings and agendas through an analysis of focus group data from research on public engagement in stem cell research. Three broad visions of public engagement are identifi ed: as education and information provision; as dialogue…
Doing gender in engineering workplace cultures. I. Observations from the field
It is frequently claimed that women who enter engineering have to ‘fit in’ to ‘a masculine culture’, but there is little systematic evidence on this. This article presents observations about gender dynamics in engineers' everyday interactions, drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in three companies. The overall picture is mixed. Engineers are generally respectful in their interactions, but there are subtle dynamics which make it easier for (more) me…
Doing gender in engineering workplace cultures. II. Gender in/authenticity and the in/visibility paradox
Part I of this paper (in Volume 1, Issue 1) presented fieldwork observations about everyday interactions in engineering workplace cultures, which tend to make it easier for men than for women to build working relationships and to ‘belong’ in engineering. This second part extends the analysis, by examining the ‘in/visibility paradox’ whereby women engineers are simultaneously highly visible as women yet invisible as engineers. This paradox is a ke…
Gender in the Information Society
This article reports from a European study on efforts to close a gendered digital divide through inclusion. The authors argue that inclusion is not just a mirror image of exclusion, and that to achieve inclusion, it is not sufficient to curb exclusion mechanisms but to enhance positive measures of inclusion. A variety of inclusion strategies have been studied, the authors concluding that ‘one size does not fit all’. Therefore, to reach a wide aud…
Nuts and Bolts and People
Engineers have two types of stories about what constitutes `real' engineering. In sociological terms, one is technicist, the other heterogeneous. How and where boundaries are drawn between `the technical' and `the social' in engineering identities and practices is a central concern for feminist technology studies, given the strong marking of sociality as feminine and technology as masculine. I explore these themes, drawing on ethnographic observa…
Masculinities and Technologies
"I'm No Athlete [but] I Can Make This Thing Dance!"-Men's Pleasures in Technology
The pleasures experienced by boys and men who work and play closely with technology have important implications for both gender and technology. This article presents empirical evidence on the topic from two studies: one of hobbyist "robot builders" who build machines for the U.K. television program Robot Wars (Kleif), the other of professional software developers working in a large U.S. corporation (Faulkner). In spite of the obvious differences …
De la vision des Brockenspectres1
Introduction Les femmes ont toujours été exclues de la puissante « nouvelle » philosophie des fondateurs de la science moderne européenne et, malgré la disparition de toutes les barrières légales, leur présence est très minoritaire dans presque toutes les sciences de la vie. Seules quelques exceptions notables ont apporté une contribution jugée suffisamment importante pour figurer, par exemple, dans les livres d’histoire des sciences. Les féminis…
The technology question in feminism
Dualisms, Hierarchies and Gender in Engineering
There seems to be a general penchant for dichotomous styles of thought in engineering, in which hierarchies and gender are often evident - both symbolically and organizationally. This paper explores these themes, drawing in part on a pilot ethnographic study of software developers. The technical/social distinction is strongly gendered inasmuch as it maps on to masculine instrumentalism and feminine expressiveness. Also, the two sides of this dual…
The Power and the Pleasure? A Research Agenda for "Making Gender Stick" to Engineers
This article seeks to open up a new avenue for feminist technology studies-gender-aware research on engineers and engineering practice-on the grounds that engineers are powerful symbols of the equation between masculinity and technology and occupy significant roles in shaping new technologies. Drawing on the disparate evidence available, the author explores four themes. The first asks why the equation between masculinity and technology is so dura…
Extraordinary Journeys around Ordinary Technologies in Ordinary Lives
From its advent in the latter 1980s, the 'new' sociology of technology purposefully focused its attention on the emergence and design of major new technologies. This was due in large measure to the intellectual heritage of the sociology of scientific knowledge. But it was also, justifiably, a reaction against the technological determinism of most 'impact' studies in the 'technology and society' tradition. Yet, the 1987 book which really put const…
Transformation of the Research Systems of Post-Communist Central and Eastern Europe
The radical transformations in the former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe (C&EE) have prompted a growing body of scholarship concerned to analyze both the dramatic decline and the de facto restructuring of research systems throughout the region, and future opportunities for rebuilding them. This paper provides some basic background information on how science and technology (S&T) were organized before the transformations, and the…
Science and Technology Studies and Policy in Central and Eastern Europe
Cet article est une conclusion a une monographie traitant des developpements scientifiques et techniques et des systemes de recherche dans les pays post-communistes d'Europe de l'est et Centrale. Apres avoir souligne les principales evolutions, cet article presente les implications politiques qui se developpent dans ces pays. Puis, les transformations institutionnelles sont presentees suivies des evolutions futures des recherches possibles

Conceptualizing Knowledge Used in Innovation
This article reviews empirical and conceptual material from two distinct research traditions: on the science-technology relation and on industrial innovation. It aims both to shed new light on an old debate-the distinction between scientific and technological knowledge-and to refine our conceptualizations of the knowledge used by companies in the course of research and development leading to innovation. On the basis of three empirical studies, a …
When is Small Beautiful in Biotech
This book is the product of a one-year historical study of the UK new biotechnology firm (NBF) Celltech, commissioned by the company and compiled on the basis of full access to its records and staff.' Celltech was established in 1980 as a major plank in UK policy for the new biotechnology. In spite of a struggling first decade, Celltech has grown to nearly 500 employees with a turnover of?20 million in 1989, of which 90% is in exports. By narrow …
