Feminist Cultural Studies of Science and Technology challenges the
assumption that science is simply what scientists do, say, or
write: it shows the multiple and dispersed makings of science and
technology in everyday life and popular culture. This first major
guide and review of the new field of feminist cultural studies of
science and technology provides readers with an accessible
introduction to its theories and methods. Documenting and analyzing
the recent explosion of research which has appeared under the
rubric of 'cultural studies of science and technology' it examines
the distinctive features of the 'cultural turn' in science studies
and traces the contribution feminist scholarship has made to this
development. Interrogating the theoretical and methodological
features it evaluates the significance of this distinctive body of
research in the context of concern about public attitudes to
science and contentious debates about public understanding of and
engagement with science.
