The need for more inclusive deliberation on ethics and governance in agricultural and food biotechnology
An inclusive and socially legitimate governance structure is absent to address concerns over new agricultural biotechnologies. Establishing an agricultural bioethics commission devoted to inclusive deliberation on ethics and governance in agricultural and food biotechnology is urgent. Highlighting the social and ethical dimensions of current agricultural bioengineering disputes in the food system, we discuss how a nationally recognized policy for…
The Ethics of Speculative Anticipation and the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic affects everyone, a statement that is true by definition, yet woefully unhelpful in our understanding of it and its effects today and in the future. Thus we find ourselves in a moment unprepared for the fast-approaching, unanticipated future. Under stable conditions, we might operate with a “good working model of an anticipated ‘future’” to speculate on our preparedness for the possible (Adams, Murphy, and Clarke 2009, 247).…
Science, Ethnographic Studies of
Ethnographies of science have their origins in the interdisciplinary field of science and technology studies (STS) that emerged out of the Civil Rights Movement, feminism, and environmentalism of the 1960s. STS research illustrates that science and technology are a human achievement, composed of actors, social systems, and social processes. Or, in other words, science and technology are social constructions created in a sociocultural framework wi…
Exploring Social Dynamics in School Science Context: An Ethnographic Case Study
The purpose of this study was to explore the socio-cultural practices and interactions of learning science in a science classroom within the concept of communities of practice. Our qualitative data were collected through observing, taking field notes, and conducting interviews in a public science classroom during an entire school year. The study occurred in a seventh-grade classroom with a veteran physical science teacher, with more than 10 years…

Love and Empire: Cybermarriage and Citizenship across the Americas
Stabilność na ruchomym podłożu. Feministyczna etnografia i praktyka
In this article the two authors problematize the moment of stabilization in doing fieldwork and writing ethnography from a feminist perspective. The paper begins with an introduction to the question: How do feminist science studies scholars reconcile a normative need to stabilize our research site to create knowledge within the shifting ground of “truth claims” that feminist practices acknowledge and document? The heart of the paper reflects on o…
The Community Water Jar: Gender and Technology in Guinea
Access to clean water and water transportation systems have been long-standing signifiers of 'modernity.' Current statistics of availability to improved water sources suggest that Guineans are living outside of accepted norms for modern life. This paper explores daily life through the lens of water workers, water collection, water sources and water containers in order to understand the day-to-day reality behind these statistics and to explore the…
The Efficacy of a Program Promoting Rice Self-Sufficiency in Ghana during a Period of Neoliberalism
The number of the world's food insecure rose at the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century. Despite these negative developments, however, a 2010 United Nations report argues that food security could be improved if development efforts are supported by government programs that target smallholder farmers. This report is significant because it challenges the neoliberal perspective, which tends to promote a private-enterprise market syste…
Re-tooling subjectivities: Exploring the possible with feminist science and technology studies
Potentials, actuals and residues: Entanglements of culture and subjectivity
Feminist science and technology studies: A patchwork of moving subjectivities. An interview with Geoffrey Bowker, Sandra Harding, Anne Marie Mol, Susan Leigh Star and Banu Subramaniam
Methods, Postcolonial
Postcolonial methods utilize social, cultural, and political analysis to engage with the colonial discourse. Postcolonialism has been defined as both a social movement and a research approach whose main agenda addresses racism and oppression. Postcolonial research names the cultural, political, and linguistic experiences of former colonized societies by including voices, stories, histories, and images from people traditionally excluded from Europ…

Cultural Re-Constructions of an Adoptive Child: Science
In this article, I take the idea of science as a cultural construct in order to understand the formation of boundaries, the maintenance of boundaries, and the permeability of margins within and between cultures. I use the metaphor of the child, my experiences working in science education on two continents, and my social theory toolbox to structure my discussion. I begin by describing the relationship between science and inquiry, and how inquiry o…
