Workshop: Fostering Collaboration between Sociolegal Studies and Science and Technology Studies

该提案将资助一个为期两天的研讨会，汇集来自社会法律研究（SLS）和科学技术研究（STS）的学者。研讨会将向学者介绍两个研究领域的关键概念，方法，对象和研究地点。与会者将通过研究观点的交叉施肥来确定新的智力生产地点。除了为知名学者提供一套新的、丰富的工具外，该研讨会还为促进各领域学者之间的合作研究项目奠定了基础，并将各领域的核心概念整合到研究生的教学和培训中。研讨会将制定一项研究议程，为犯罪和暴力，健康，能源和环境的研究带来新的视角，这将有助于改善研究生教育和政策制定者的决策。SLS和STS都是成熟的，跨学科的领域，研究知识，政策和实践的生产。每个领域都有一个不同但有价值的重点，即社会制度，这些制度通常被视为产生结果（法律，发现），而其内部运作仍然是不可见的。法律和社会学者研究法律和法院作为社会过程和实践。STS学者专注于科学，医学和技术，研究新技术和新科学领域的出现。虽然一些法律和社会学者专注于科学和技术，但许多人并没有像对法律本身的制定，实施或解释那样对法律相关技术给予同样的批判性关注。同样，尽管一些STS学者经常关注政策制定，但该领域并不倾向于遵循政策和法律。研讨会的目的是使这两个领域相互对话，提供机会，了解每个领域？的理论贡献，方法论的方法，并组织问题。研讨会将在费城的德雷克塞尔大学举行。时间表将包括每个学科的核心概念概述，以及两个奖学金领域之间的一系列讨论，以确定协同作用和共同的分析节点。它将有助于确定犯罪和暴力、健康、能源和环境研究方面的差距和新课程。

This proposal will fund a two day workshop to bring together scholars from sociolegal studies (SLS) and science and technology studies (STS). The workshop will introduce scholars to key concepts, methods, objects, and sites of study across the two fields of study. Conference participants will identify new sites for intellectual production through cross-fertilization of research perspectives. In addition to offering established scholars a new, rich set of tools, the workshop lays the groundwork for facilitating collaborative research projects between scholars in each field, and for integrating core concepts from each field into the teaching and training of graduate students. The workshop will develop a research agenda to bring new perspectives to the study of crime and violence, health, and energy and environment that will contribute to improving graduate education and policy makers decision making.SLS and STS are both mature, interdisciplinary fields that examine the production of knowledge, policies, and practices. Each field has a different yet valuable focus on societal institutions that are often presented as generating outcomes (laws, discoveries) while their inner workings remain invisible. Law and society scholars study law and courts as social processes and practices. STS scholars focus on science, medicine and technology, examining new technologies and the emergence of new scientific fields. Although some law and society scholars focus on science and technology, many do not bring the same critical attention to legally-relevant technologies as they do to the making, implementation, or interpretation of law itself. Similarly, although some STS scholars often focus on policy-in-the-making, the field does not tend to follow policies and laws in action. The workshop aims to bring these two fields in dialogue with each other, offering opportunities to learn about each field?s theoretical contributions, methodological approaches, and organizing questions. The workshop will be hosted at Drexel University in Philadelphia. The schedule will include an overview of core concepts in each discipline, and a series of discussions between the two areas of scholarship to identify synergies and common nodes of analysis. It will contribute to identifying gaps and new curriculum in the study of crime and violence, health, and energy and environment.
