This study examines findings from a 4-year-long ethnography of
communication among a research university's community of scientists
and engineers working in nanoscience and nanotechnology. It
includes analysis of 20 in-depth interviews with scientists and
engineers from 18 different disciplines self-identified as working
in nanoscale science and engineering. Using multiple methods of
inquiry, including fieldwork, interviews, and textual analysis,
elements of a shared speech code are presented, each of which
indicate culturally distinctive understandings of psychology,
sociology and rhetoric. In particular, the interview data addresses
questions such as "What kind of person is a scientist?" "What is
the role of science in society?" and "What is the role of
communication in science?" This book will appeal to readers
interested in science and society, scientific communication, and
ethnography of communication.
