STS Currents against the “Anti-Science” Tide
This essay considers some possible relationships that STS scholars can have with activists who are resisting attacks on environmental science. STS scholars can document the counter-currents to the “anti-science” moment, work in partnership with activists outside of academia, use access to institutional resources to give environmental movements strength, use STS research to help activists better understand the policy process and the history of sci…
A Five-Year Engagement
In this editorial essay, Abby Kinchy, Shobita Parthasarathy, and Jason Delborne look back at the editorial and publishing practices of the first five years of the journal Engaging Science, Technology, and Society (ESTS), the open access journal of The Society for Social Studies of Science (4S). As three members of the inaugural ESTS Editorial Board, Kinchy, Parthasarathy, and Delborne reflect on what they value in academic practice, including pub…

African Americans in the Atomic AgePostwar Perspectives on Race and the Bomb, 1945–1967 Abby J. Kinchy (bio) On 8 September 1945, Walter White, the executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), made a prediction: “The atomic bomb will have and must have even more explosive effects on nationalist, economic and racial concepts as it has had on the half million human beings who were wiped out by two b…
Against Free Markets, Against Science? Regulating the Socio-Economic Effects of Biotechnology
This study challenges the assumption that abstract 'globalization' forces are driving transformations in the relationships between states and markets. Employing three cases of policy debate regarding the regulation of agricultural biotechnology (ag-biotech), we examine the role of discourse in the formation of neoliberal regulatory schemes. We show that one important mechanism for the successful institutionalization of neoliberalism in the area o…
Against the neoliberal steamroller? The Biosafety Protocol and the social regulation of agricultural biotechnologies
On the borders of post-war ecology
Should ecologists advocate for the protection of natural ecosystems? What is the appropri-ate relationship between ecology and activism? These questions have been raised by ecol-ogists and observers of the discipline since at least the early 1900s, and present discussionsshow no sign of a forthcoming resolution. Historian Stephen Bocking (1997) recentlyobserved that ‘Among ecologists there evidently is no consensus concerning their placein enviro…
Why Ban Bovine Growth Hormone? Science, Social Welfare, and the Divergent Biotech Policy Landscapes in Europe and the United States
Organizing Credibility
In the present paper, we show that in its efforts to maintain credibility and claim social relevance, the Ecological Society of America (ESA) and its members repeatedly negotiate a boundary between science and politics. While the boundaries of ecology are flexibly defined, contingent on political context and what is at stake, they are also shaped and constrained by the already constructed social world. Several factors shape the ESA’s boundary-wor…
Boundaries in Science Policy Making
We simultaneously explore the history of European Union policy on the commercialization of recombinant bovine growth hormone and the sociology of boundary drawing. We argue that, to understand why some boundary-drawing efforts succeed and others fail, we need to be attentive to the relatively stable discursive, organizational, and institutional factors that shape boundary construction. We suggest that attention to two discourses (scientism and so…
