Abstract

This article introduces the Kumar and Chubin-edited collection, Science, Technology, and Society: A Sourcebook on Research and Practice (Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishing, New York). STS, a hybrid area of scholarship focuses on science-technology-society interactions, draws on the intellectual resources of scientists, educators, engineers, social scientists, and philosophers inside and outside academe. A dozen chapters examine STS trends, curriculum, teaching, learning, mentoring, advocacy, public policy, and issues for further research.
