WORKSHOP: Science, Ethics, and Justice: Reconsiderations and New Directions.

科学、技术和社会研究中的伦理问题日益复杂和分散，要求多学科参与研究设计和实施。然而，不同学术领域（例如社会学、哲学、工程学、计算机科学等）处理所谓“伦理”问题的认识论假设、技能和方法各不相同。本次研讨会是继美国国会通过2007年《美国竞争法案》确定科学研究伦理培训轮廓的兴趣之后举行的，并扩展了这一讨论。作为集中交流的一种方式，研讨会汇集了受过哲学、社会学、人类学和其他领域培训的科技研究学者，他们的研究从正义的角度探讨科技伦理。研讨会的目标是： 1）为科学、知识、伦理和正义之间关系的多学科反思提供空间和对话。 2）记录科学和正义中伦理道德的共同和不同方法，重点关注社会和/或政治参与研究的意义和实践。 为了建立跨领域的实质性对话，研讨会将围绕科学、伦理和正义交叉点的三个主题。这些主题是环境正义、医学正义和基因组正义。研讨会参与者将解释和分享他们处理每个主题的理论框架和研究方法，从而促进更好地理解伦理学研究的异同。这样的交流将促进创建创新的、多学科的科学伦理研究方法。该研讨会将制作一本编辑卷和一组小组，以便在科学社会研究学会 2012 年年会上展示。该研讨会将为研究生以及初级和高级学者提供培训机会。

The increasing complexity and dispersion of ethical issues in research on science, technology and society call for multi-disciplinary involvement in research design and conduct. Yet the epistemological assumptions, skills, and methods for tackling what are termed "ethical" issues vary across fields of scholarship (for example, sociology, philosophy, engineering, computer science, etc.). This workshop takes place on the heels of and extends the discussion of the U.S. Congress' interest to identify the contours of ethics training in science research via the America COMPETES Act of 2007. As a way of focusing the exchange, the workshop brings together science and technology studies scholars with training in philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and other fields whose research approaches ethics in science and technology from the perspective of justice. The objectives of the workshop are: 1) To provide a space and dialogue for multi-disciplinary reflection on the relationships among science, knowledge, ethics, and justice. 2) To document shared and divergent approaches to ethics in science and justice with a focus on the meaning and practice of socially and/or politically engaged research. In order to create substantive dialogue across fields, the workshop will be oriented around the three themes situated at the intersection of science, ethics, and justice. These themes are environmental justice, medical science justice, and genomic justice. Workshop participants will explain and share their theoretical frameworks and research methodologies for tackling each topic, thereby promoting a better understanding of the similarities and differences in ethics research. Such an exchange will promote the creation of innovative, multi-disciplinary approaches to the study of ethics in science. The workshop will result in the production of an edited volume and a set of panels for presentation at the 2012 annual meeting of the Society for the Social Studies of Science. The workshop will offer a training opportunity by including graduate students as well as junior and senior scholars as participants.
