"STS in Global Contexts"——Review of the 2010 4S Annual Meeting in Tokyo

2010年4s学会第35届年会反映了当前世界各国STS研究群体的概况以及STS研究前沿动态与发展趋势。目前美国加州大学、挪威科技大学、英国爱丁堡大学、美国康奈尔大学、日本东京大学构成了国际STS研究的重镇。STS研究越来越关注诸如科学技术与公共政策、公众参与科学事务、科学传播和社会风险评估之类的现实问题,多学科交叉研究已成为STS研究的主旋律,科技创新研究和亚洲科技与社会问题研究已演变成学界关注的热点。

The 35th 4s Annual Meeting reflects the overall features of STS research groups and the trends and frontiers in STS research worldwide.The five most influential international research centers for STS studies are： University of California,Norwegian University of Science and Technology,the University of Edinburgh,Cornell University and the University of Tokyo.There are increasing concerns for practical issues such as Science,Technology and Public Policy,Public Engagement with Science Issues,Science Communication and Social Risk Assessment.Using multi-level interdisciplinary perspectives becomes recent trend,and Innovation Studies and STS in Asian play a key role as the next academic focus.
