Videnskabs- og teknologistudier (STS) er et internationalt forskningsfelt, som undersøger hvordan videnskab, samfund og teknologi samskabes. Bogen er tænkt som en ny og opdateret introduktion til STS som felt, og kapitlerne giver forskellige bud på, hvordan videnskab, teknologi og samfund væves ind i hinanden. Klimaforandringer, googlebriller, fertilitetsbehandling, genmodificerede fødevarer, digitalisering og postfaktualitet optræder bl.a. i denne bog som aktuelle eksempler på hvordan videnskab og teknologi påvirker samfundsforhold stærkere end nogensinde før. Men eksemplerne viser også, at teknologi, videnskab og vores opfattelse af naturen i lige så høj grad er præget af sociale forhold og processer. Bogen er redigeret af Peter Danholt, lektor på Institut for Kommunikation og Kultur, Aarhus Universitet, og Christopher Gad, lektor på IT-universitetet, København. Derudover er der kapitler forfattet af Stine Willum Adrian, Casper Andersen, Mikkel Bille, Andreas Birkbak, Anders Blok, Lasse Blond, Claus Bossen, Maja Horst, Klaus Høyer, Casper Bruun Jensen, Torben Elgaard Jensen, Henriette Langstrup, Peter Lauritsen, Kristian Hvidtfelt Nielsen, Finn Olesen, Helene Ratner, Søren Riis, Kasper Schiølin og Brit Ross Winthereik.

This book describes current practices in science communication, from citizen science to Twitter storms, and celebrates this diversity through case studies and examples. However, the authors also reflect on how scholars and practitioners can gain better insight into science communication through new analytical methods and perspectives. From science PR to the role of embodiment and materiality, some aspects of science communication have been under-studied. How can we better notice these? Science Communication provides a new synthesis for Science Communication Studies. It uses the historical literature of the field, new empirical data, and interdisciplinary thought to argue that the frames which are typically used to think about science communication often omit important features of how it is imagined and practised. It is essential reading for students, scholars, and practitioners of science education, science and technology studies, museum studies, and media and communication studies.
