A comparative analysis of attitudes toward neuroscience and the application of information on the brain between the public and neuroscientists in Japan
Recent technological advancements have expanded our capacity to observe, decode, and modulate human brain activity. As these brain information (BI) technologies evolve, it becomes increasingly important to address relevant ethical, legal, and social issues and to communicate them effectively to the public. However, meaningful dialogue has been hindered by a limited understanding of how attitudes toward BI technologies differ between experts and t…
Histories of Scientific Responsibility in Japan and the United Kingdom
We historicize talk of social responsibility in relation to science and technology. By charting the multiple and contested notions of responsibility that scientists have espoused from the early twentieth century to the present, we show how scientists have used the word strategically, at different times and in different contexts, to project their preferred views of how science should relate to wider society. Comparing Japan and the UK enables us t…
The Soba Restaurant and the Oyster Bar
As STS researchers working closely with scientists and engineers, we have been invited into, created, reluctantly entered, and stumbled upon many kinds of spaces, some of which might be considered spaces for responsible research and innovation. Here we discuss a selection of these spaces, drawing on our work in synthetic biology in the UK and molecular robotics in Japan. They include a multidisciplinary workshop, a public engagement event, an art…
Comparative analysis of media coverage concerning the social implications on three life sciences in Japan during 1991–2020
Media coverage is an important determinant of the social conception and public understanding of science. Therefore, understanding the media framing of science and technology is important for science communication. As such, we try to determine the frames that are significant in news coverage concerning science and technology, whether the dominant frames changed over time, and whether there are any overlooked frames. To this end, we focused on news…
Comparing direct-to-consumer genetic testing services in English, Japanese, and Chinese websites
Direct-to-consumer genetic testing (DTC-GT) has rapidly become available and affordable throughout developed countries. However, comparative research on DTC-GT services beyond Western countries has remained scarce, particularly in East Asian countries such as Japan and China. Hence, this study’s hypothesis is that although DTC-GT services in three languages might utilize the same underlying testing technology, such services are likely to represen…
Legacies of Fukushima
In Legacies of Fukushima , contributors, drawn from the realms of journalism and academia, science policy and citizen science, activism and governance, contextualize 3.11 through the lens of critical disaster studies.
Attention to Stem Cell Research in Japanese Mass Media
This article aims to describe time-lined changes in the topics and framings of stem cell research (SCR) and regenerative medicine (RM) in Japanese mass media after the 1990s. Seventy-four hundred news articles were collected and analyzed for co-word network structures. Network changes concerning keywords such as ethics (rinri 倫理), egg (ranshi 卵子), and guidelines (shishin 指針) were found to be features of Japanese media discourse. In particular, af…
Diversity in STS Communities
When discussing the possibility of a new STS framework based on the unique experiences of East Asian regions, one must begin with an appreciation of diversity. An analysis of the topics in five STS journals—including journals published in East Asia—can generate a map of topics and interests. The diversity of the Japanese example appears to stem from a set of historical, political, and cultural contexts. Understanding the diversity of STS and its …
Work in Progress
(EASTS), has been developed. However, the EASTS perspectives have not been clear. In order to develop EASTS, it is necessary to understand each other more for much active STS in East Asian Community. Thus, we examine the current situation of EASTS by conducting a network analysis on highly frequent keywords in two STS journals. The results exhibited different tendencies observed in topics and fields even between the two STS journals ’ community. …
Work in Progress
Currently, a new STS field, East Asian Science, Technology and Society (EASTS), has been developed. However, the EASTS perspectives have not been clear. In order to develop EASTS, it is necessary to understand each other more for much active STS in East Asian Community. Thus, we examine the current situation of EASTS by conducting a network analysis on highly frequent keywords in two STS journals. The results exhibited different tendencies observ…
Public engagement in Japanese policy-making
New laws regulating the use of genetically modified organisms have recently been enacted in Japan, and there were many stakeholders involved in the development of this policy. Our review of the history and the debates held in the course of policy development regarding genetically modified organisms in Japan shows that the current regulatory system was developed taking past national and international regulatory contexts into consideration. The tur…
