Science and technology profoundly shape the world today. Over the last two centuries, they have become powerful engines of change, accounting for some of the most important forms of human activity, inseparable from social, political and economic life. Analyzing their modes of production, the dynamics of their dissemination, the different forms of their use and opposition to them is a major academic and political challenge.

Science and Technology in Society offers a broad overview of work carried out in France, in the international multi-disciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies (STS), and is the product of a collaboration between some thirty authors. It aims to provide an introduction to this field of research, its development, benefits and the new perspectives that are emerging.

This book presents and discusses studies that are still little-known in France, even though, paradoxically, many researchers from French institutions make decisive contributions to international work in this field.

Soraya Boudia is a historian and sociologist of science and the environment, and a professor at Université Paris Cité, France. Her work has contributed to the development of STS in France, exploring the relationship between science and politics, with a focus on environmental risk management.

Ashveen Peerbaye is a sociologist of science and technology and a lecturer at Université Gustave Eiffel, France. His research is rooted in STS and focuses on the material culture and the instrumental infrastructure of the biomedical sciences.
