Science and Technology in Society Wiki

The emerging fields of Science and Technology Policy (STP) and Science and Technology Studies (STS) have become prominent disciplines in recent years. The increasing prevalence of technology issues - in governmental policies and the public eye - demands a workforce equipped with the tools and training necessary to negotiate these complex relationships. Though often from different perspectives, STS and STP deal with many of the same issues. Traditionally, however, there has been little communication between the two.

In 2001, the Science and Technology Global Consortium was formed to hold a graduate student conference called Science and Technology in Society to bridge that divide and provide a forum for networking, bringing together graduate students from historically fragmented communities to learn from one another. This wiki seeks to build upon the proceedings of this conference and create repository of knowledge that will serve this community.
