This project will analyze how scientists, research teams, and organizations have produced knowledge about environmental light pollution. The project will contribute to our understanding of the politics of artificial light at night and the history of nightscapes, and lightscapes. This project will expands empirical and analytical insights regarding the politics of environmental knowledge production. This study will bring critical social science perspectives to research impacts and responses on communities to artificial light at night. The findings from this project will contribute to conservation science, policymaking, and citizen science and will be made public through writings, conferences and educational activities.Using approaches from science and technology studies and environmental history the project will examine how historical, cultural, institutional, and technoscientific factors shape what is known about artificial light at night and its socio-ecological consequences through citizen/expert approaches, cultural and political contexts, and public/private conservation efforts. The research will be done in collaboration with light pollution scientists, government agencies, and NGOs using archives, oral histories, interviews, and ethnographic observation. The project will contribute social science insights into light pollution and its role as growing socio-ecological issue that can indicate on a global-scale, anthropogenic environmental change.

这个项目将分析科学家、研究团队和组织是如何产生关于环境光污染的知识的。该项目将有助于我们理解夜间人工照明的政治以及夜景和灯光的历史。这个项目将扩展关于环境知识生产政治的经验和分析见解。这项研究将从社会科学的角度研究夜间人工照明对社区的影响和反应。该项目的发现将有助于保护科学、政策制定和公民科学，并将通过写作、会议和教育活动公开。该项目将利用科学技术研究和环境历史的方法，研究历史、文化、制度和技术科学因素如何通过公民/专家方法、文化和政治背景以及公共/私人保护努力影响已知的夜间人造灯光及其社会生态后果。这项研究将与光污染科学家、政府机构和非政府组织合作，使用档案、口述历史、访谈和民族志观察。该项目将有助于对光污染及其作为日益严重的社会生态问题的作用的社会科学见解，该问题可以在全球范围内表明人为环境变化。
