Challenge-driven innovation and responsible innovation
Recent years have seen the uptake of challenge and missionoriented innovation policies in Europe, including the UK.These developments have been paralleled by variable support for responsible research and innovation (RRI) policies.This article explores the adoption of challenge-driven innovation strategies in the UK's industrial biotech (IB) sector alongside RRI expectations, examining the effects and implications.Drawing on analysis of IB policy …
Absent, yet present? Moving with ‘Responsible Research and Innovation’ in radiation protection research
Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) remains an essentially contested concept, yet potentially facilitates the development of a substantial network comprising actors with a variety of roles, expectations, and stakes, including researchers across technical and social sciences and humanities. Although the notion of RRI is absent in research programs for nuclear research and development (R&D), it is nonetheless recognized by various stakeholder…
Five rules of thumb for post-Elsi interdisciplinary collaborations
In this paper we identify five rules of thumb for interdisciplinary collaboration across the natural and social sciences. We link these to efforts to move away from the ‘ethical, legal and social issues’ framework of interdisciplinarity and towards a post-ELSI collaborative space. It is in trying to open up such a space that we identify the need for: collaborative experimentation, taking risks, collaborative reflexivity, opening-up discussions of…
You're looking for different parts in a jigsaw
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was first introduced into clinical practice during the 1980s. Originally used as a diagnostic tool to take pictures of the brain, spine, and joints, it is now used to visualise a range of organs and soft tissue around the body. Developments in clinical applications of the technology are rapid and it is often viewed as the 'gold standard' in many areas of medicine. However, most existing sociological work on MRI te…
Taking Roles in Interdisciplinary Collaborations
Based on criticism of the “ethical, legal and social implications” (ELSI) paradigm, researchers in science and technology studies (STS) have begun to create and move into “post-ELSI” spaces. In this paper, we pool our experiences of working towards collaborative practices with colleagues in engineering and science disciplines in the field of synthetic biology. We identify a number of different roles that we have taken, been assumed to take, or ha…
Bacterial cultures
In this paper we report on ethnographic work developed over two years, working as social scientists within a project on synthetic biology (SB), which aimed to use engineered bacteria as solutions to water industry problems. We were asked to help solve the ‘barrier to innovation’ by our engineering colleagues who believed that industrial and public ignorance would block their innovations. Instead of orienting around ‘ignorance’ we chose to explore…
The disciplining of scientific communities
Amidst ongoing concern with training students in the skills and knowledge necessary to contribute towards a knowledge-intensive economy, we explore how particular ‘epistemic subjects’ are produced within specific epistemic communities. We examine how social studies of science have probed the ‘disciplining’ practices that constitute scientific knowledge production, but have tended to overlook how students participate in, and become members of, epi…
Communautés épistémiques
Cet article se propose de se concentrer sur la question des communautes scientifiques et de discuter des manieres de les analyser et de les conceptualiser. L'accent est mis ici sur la notion de communautes epistemiques , c'est-a-dire les communautes concernees par la production et la diffusion de connaissances et la relation de celles-ci au politique. Dans la litterature, une communaute epistemique est un collectif de personnes ayant une expertis…
Introduction
Tales of Emergence—Synthetic Biology as a Scientific Community in the Making
Policy reconsideredMeanings, politics and practices
This book identifies key topics in the policy arena, subjecting them to sustained theoretical and practical appraisal. It shows the advantage of applying a cross-disciplinary lens to the study of 'policy', presenting critical and reflective engagements with theory and practice at all levels of political organisation within a range of contexts
Getting a measure of nature
We explore the concept of 'ecosystem services' as a way of understanding how particular relations between nature and society can be established and studied and as a potential integrating approach for interdisciplinary research. Given that something only becomes a 'service' within a particular, economically minded framework, the shift from thinking about 'ecosystems' to understanding 'ecosystem services' requires shifts in the form and content of …
Building a research agenda on water policy
Under the European Union Water Framework Directive, Europe's water bodies must be managed in an integrated and sustainable manner, taking account of stakeholder views, and are required to achieve 'good status' by 2015. This policy represents a shift in approach to the management of the environment and raises multiple questions about the relationship between policy-making, policy implementation, and the research base informing policy work. Specifi…
Sociological Engagements with Computing
This paper explores some of the implications for qualitative researchers within sociology of developments in Grid technology and thereby aims to contribute to the debate on the future of sociological research in an increasingly digitised world. The well-established field of humanities computing provides an interesting counterpoint. We use the methodological techniques of 'secondary analysis' and 'visual research', two currently marginal approache…
Narrating community
In attempting to understand scientific community sociologically, issues of participation and belonging come quickly to the fore. Here, I suggest that scientific texts offer a useful route into exploring these aspects of community life. Through analysis of the textual construction of scientific community we find, however, that only certain forms of participation, and certain kinds of participant, are included. This raises the question of whether e…
