The tradition of Polish Science Studies dates back to the works of L. Fleck and F. Znaniecki. In the 1990s, the field found itself in crisis due to the many institutional transformations in the former Eastern Bloc. The subsequent resurgence started with the new millennium thanks to scholars particularly interested in the Actor-Network Theory, which offered conceptual tools to combine philosophical questions with sociological interests, and seemed also a good way out of the pitfalls of postmodern discussions. This collection presents a sample of renewed Science and Technology Studies in Poland ranging from theoretical explorations through discourse analysis-oriented chapters on anorexia and climate change disinformation, to studies of socio-scientific controversies over air pollution.

Krzysztof Abriszewski is Associate Professor and Chair of the Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology Department at Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruñ, Poland. His main areas of research concern the Actor-Network Theory, cultural theory and philosophy of human and social sciences.

Aleksandra Derra is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Practical Philosophy at Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruñ, Poland. Her areas of academic interest are philosophy of science, Science and Technology Studies, contemporary feminist theories, and embodiment in cognitive science.

Andrzej W. Nowak is Associate Professor of Philosophy of Science and Technology at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznañ, Poland. His areas of interest are Science and Technology Studies, sociology of knowledge, and public philosophy and sociology
