Enhancing Equity in Genomics
The everyday harms of structural racism and discrimination, perpetuated through institutions, laws, policies, and practices, constitute social determinants of health, but measures that account for their debilitating effects are largely missing in genetic studies of complex diseases. Drawing on insights from the social sciences and public health, we propose critical methodologies for incorporating tools that measure structural racism and discrimin…
On Methods, Ontologies, and Representation in the Sociology of Science
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book shows aviation&s;s place in the hazard that humanity creates and aviation&s;s part in extending the hand. If the air industry perceives a need to adopt and demonstrate sustainability as a key criterion of its business practice, it is simply not useful to allow a vacuum in governance to dictate action and outcome-or lack there-of. The Internat…
Ethics and Practice in Communities of Care
The Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) annually awards the John Desmond Bernal Prize to one or more individuals who have made distinguished contributions to the field of Science and Technology Studies. Past winners have included founders of the field, along with outstanding scholars who have devoted their careers to the understanding of the social dimensions of science and technology. This article is the revised text of Joan H. Fujimura's…
Staying the Course
Scientific knowledge has been under attack recently, especially during and from the Trump administration. This article discusses the value of research in social studies of science in relation to scientific practice and post‐truth attacks on science. This literature analyzes the expert work and social values that enter into the production of evidence, the development and testing of methods, and the construction of theoretical and epistemological f…
A different kind of association between socio-histories and health
Clines Without Classes
This article examines Shiao, Bode, Beyer, and Selvig's (2012) arguments in their article 'The Genomic Challenge to the Social Construction of Race' and finds that their claims are based on fundamentally flawed interpretations of current genetic research. We discuss current genomic and genetic knowledge about human biological variation to demonstrate why and how Shiao et al.'s recommendations for future sociological studies and social policy, base…
Will Personalized Medicine Challenge or Reify Categories of Race and Ethnicity
Developing technologies for personalized medicine may be misused to popularize the idea that one can infer a person’s genetic makeup from observer-defined or self-reported assignment to a race or ethnic group
Calculating life? Duelling discourses in interdisciplinary systems biology
Different differences
This article presents findings from our ethnographic research on biomedical scientists' studies of human genetic variation and common complex disease. We examine the socio-material work involved in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and discuss whether, how, and when notions of race and ethnicity are or are not used. We analyze how researchers produce simultaneously different kinds of populations and population differences. Although many gene…
The Network Collective
First-hand account of the rise and fall of a scientific paradigm Shows how scientific fiction turns to fact Highlights the origin of scientific hype Includes interviews with prominent scientists The network paradigm dominated immunological research from the early 1970s to the late 1980s. The originator, Niels Jerne, hypothesized that the vast diversity of antibodies in each individual forms a network of mutual "idiotypic" recognition, thus regula…
Introduction
This special issue of Studies of Science highlights ongoing debates concerning race, genomics, and disease. Some of the papers examine the production of disease etiology research, pharmaceutical drug response, or DNA genealogy tests, while others analyze institutional consequences and challenges arising from contemporary biomedicine, such as medical education and recruiting subjects for clinical research. In this introduction, we outline major is…
The Science and Business of Genetic Ancestry Testing
Commercially available tests of genetic ancestry have significant scientific limitations, but are serious matters for many test-takers.
Sex Genes
Postgenomic futures
This article discusses the production of new “postgenomic ” knowledges that aim to be more ecological and “wholistic ” than the reductionist genetics of the last forty years. It examines systems biology and, briefly, developmental systems theory, which are two approaches that attempt to model complexities in biology. System biological metaphors and languages have been in part taken from engineering models of automobiles, airplanes and robots and …

Authorizing Knowledge in Science and Anthropology
An analogy exists between today's "defenders" of science in the "science/culture wars" and 19th-century "defenders" of euclidean geometry. Current critics have appointed themselves as arbiters of truth in a manner analogous to that of 19th-century mathematicians and theologians who argued against noneuclidean geometry that challenge Euclid's mathematically, philosophically, and theologically entrenched fifth postulate. The science wars then and n…
Crafting Science
During the late 1970s and 1980s, "cancer" underwent a remarkable transformation. In one short decade, what had long been a set of heterogeneous diseases marked by uncontrolled cell growth became a disease of our genes. How this happened and what it means is the story Joan Fujimura tells in a rare inside look at the way science works and knowledge is created. A dramatic study of a new species of scientific revolution, this book combines a detailed…
Styles of practice in HIV/Aids research
Dans cet article, l'A. montre que les processus, par lesquels le virus HIV a ete designe comme responsable du SIDA, associent un grand nombre d'acteurs et d'actants, sont de multiple nature (politique, bureaucratique), et laissent une part importante a l'improvisation. Les pratiques officielles et officieuses des scientifiques et des chercheurs en medecine representent seulement une partie des activites qui sont impliquees dans la determination d…

The Right Tools for the Job
This volume examines scientific practice through studies of research tools in an array of twentieth-century life sciences. The contributors draw upon and extend the multidisciplinary perspectives in current science studies to understand the processes through which scientific researchers constructed the right--and, in some cases, the wrong--tools for the job. The articles portray the crafting or accessing of specific materials, techniques, instrum…

Constructing `Do-able' Problems in Cancer Research
This paper presents a framework for analyzing scientists' efforts to construct `do-able' research problems. A problem is `doable' when scientists can align tasks to three levels of work organization - experiment, laboratory, and social world. Articulation is the planning and coordination needed to align levels. The framework is used to analyze data from a study of basic cancer research. Its usefulness is illustrated by a case study of oncogenic a…
