  • Societal aspects of synthetic biology

    Open AccessAmy K WolfeARTICLEJournal of Responsible Innovation2015

    Because the organisms, production, potential uses, and disposal practices associated with synthetic biology vary widely, so do the impacts and implications. This paper advocates that scholars crafting a research agenda and investigating societal aspects of synthetic biology do so in a way that is attentive to important specifics, such as the types of organisms involved and contexts in which synthetic organisms or biological systems will be used. …

  • Specificity and Engagement

    Open AccessB Shumpert, Amy K Wolfe et al.ARTICLENanoEthics2014Citada por: 1

    Scholars studying the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) associated with emerging technologies maintain the importance of considering these issues throughout the research and development cycle, even during the earliest stages of basic research. Embedding these considerations within the scientific process requires communication between ELSI scholars and the community of physical scientists who are conducting that basic research. We posit tha…

  • It Depends on Where You Sit

    Amy K Wolfe, Kenneth David et al.ARTICLEPracticing Anthropology2006

    This paper emerged from discussions during and after the spring 2005 SfAA session on anthropology and nanotechnology. The three authors have worked for many years in substantially different institutional settings. Wolfe has worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), owned by the U.S. Department of Energy and currently managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, for a generation. David has resided at Michigan State University's anthropology department for e…

  • Nanotechnology in Society

    John V Stone, Amy K WolfeARTICLEPracticing Anthropology2006

    As Alice fell down the rabbit-hole she had plenty of time to wonder what would happen next... She had gotten so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way

  • A Framework for Analyzing Dialogues over the Acceptability of Controversial Technologies

    Open AccessAmy K Wolfe, David J Bjornstad et al.ARTICLEScience Technology & Human Values2002Citada por: 3Referências: 43

    This article asks under what circumstances controversial technologies would be considered seriously for remediation instead of being rejected out of hand. To address this question, the authors developed a conceptual framework called public acceptability of controversial technologies (PACT). PACT considers site-specific, decision-oriented dialogues among the individuals and groups involved in selecting or recommending hazardous waste remediation t…

  • Environmental Risk and Anthropology

    Amy K WolfeARTICLEPracticing Anthropology1988

    Practicing anthropologists conducting research on environmental risk have become involved in a field that has been defined largely by engineers, health physicists, statisticians, and epidemiologists. Typically, natural and physical scientists define risk as the probability and magnitude of an unwanted event over a unit of time. In conducting probabilistic risk assessments, harm to humans usually is measured by morbidity or mortality

  • Risk Communication

    Amy K WolfeARTICLEPracticing Anthropology1988

    After a mishap at an industrial plant, company officials say there is no danger to people living nearby. At a public meeting on the siting of a hazardous waste facility, experts report that engineering design specifications are such that the chances of harm to human health are one in a million. Researchers from prestigious universities write that toxins in commonplace foods, like peanut butter, are more likely to harm human health than drinking c…
