Trading Zones, Interactional Expertise and Interdisciplinary Collaboration, Arizona State University; 6/05-8/06.

交易区、交互专业知识和跨学科合作弗吉尼亚大学迈克尔·E·戈尔曼项目总结智力价值最近的NSF倡议，如纳米技术和融合技术，不仅强调科学和工程学科的合作，而且强调社会科学和人文科学的合作(Roco&amp；Bainbridge，2001,2002)。科学技术研究(STS)正在发展基于交易区、共享专业知识和道德想象力的新理论框架，显示出理解和促进这些合作的希望(Gorman，2002,2003 a，2003 b)。这项建议有三个目标：a)基于交易区和交互专业知识的概念，开发一个分析和促进跨学科科技合作的框架；b)通过道德想象力的概念增加伦理/价值观部分；c)将该框架应用于纳米科学、生物技术、信息技术和认知科学(“NBIC”)的融合。方法将是一个研讨会，来自STS、伦理和行业的参与者将聚集在一起。它将在亚利桑那州立大学的决策剧院举行，这是一个旨在鼓励不同利益相关者之间合作的设施。Broader Impact这个研讨会包括一个由参与者组成的跨学科小组(见下文)，他们永远不会一起出现在社会会议上。他们的工作将对如何以承诺社会和技术进步的方式引入融合技术产生影响。结果还将与地球系统工程管理和服务科学的新兴领域相关。结果将通过以下方式传播：o研讨会的大量编辑论文；o在亚利桑那州立大学维护的网站上发表在《科学、技术与人类价值观》和《IEEE技术与社会》等期刊上的文章

Trading zones, interactional expertise and interdisciplinary collaborationMichael E. Gorman, University of VirginiaProject SummaryIntellectual meritRecent NSF initiatives like nanotechnology and convergent technologies emphasize collaboration across not only scientific and engineering disciplines, but also social sciences and humanities (Roco & Bainbridge, 2001, 2002). Science-technology studies (STS) is evolving new theoretical frameworks based on trading zones, shared expertise and moral imagination that show promise for understanding and facilitatingthese collaborations (Gorman, 2002, 2003a, 2003b).This proposal has three goals:a) Developing a framework for analyzing and facilitating interdisciplinarycollaboration in science and technology, based upon linking the concepts oftrading zones and interactional expertise;b) Adding an ethics/values component via the concept of moral imagination;c) Applying the framework to the convergence between nanoscience,biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive science ("NBIC").The method will be a workshop that brings together participants from STS, ethics andindustry. It will be held at Arizona State University's Decision Theater, a facilitydesigned to encourage collaboration among different stakeholders.Broader ImpactThis workshop includes an interdisciplinary group of participants (see below) whowould never appear at a society meeting together. Their work will have an impact on howconverging technologies can be introduced in ways that promise social as well astechnological progress. Results will also be relevant to the emerging fields of EarthSystems Engineering Management and Service Science.Results will be disseminated via:o A volume of edited papers from the workshop;o Articles in journals like Science, Technology & Human Values and IEEETechnology & Society.o On a web-site maintained at Arizona State University
