This conference grant will bring Science, Technology and Society (STS) scholars together to address equitable consequences of current contemporary societal science issues, questions, and challenges. Outcomes will be distributed through a broadly shared report to the STS research community. A set of readings that translate cutting edge STS research into accessible and interesting articles for undergraduate students, and development of a master syllabus for teaching undergraduate courses on societal science issues will be developed. These materials will be freely available and of interest to policy makers, citizens and educators. The workshop brings together senior STS scholars with an established track record of research along with newer STS scholars (graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, assistant professors) to help shape future STS research. The workshop is organized around several topical areas: emerging public environmental problems, effective communication of science and its public understanding, governance, and possibilities for opening more policy options and broader democratic participation, environmental inequality and injustice, and how new socio-technologies and societal visionaries become integrated into existing systems. Workshop participants will be recruited in each area of research to summarize what is known, open discussion of unanswered questions, and contribute to the report and pedagogical products.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这一会议赠款将把科学、技术和社会(STS)学者聚集在一起，解决当前当代社会科学问题、问题和挑战的公平后果。结果将通过一份广泛共享的报告分发给STS研究界。将开发一套将尖端STS研究转化为本科生可读和有趣的文章的读物，并为教授社会科学问题的本科生制定主教学大纲。这些材料将免费提供，政策制定者、公民和教育工作者都会感兴趣。研讨会汇集了有研究记录的资深STS学者和较新的STS学者(研究生、博士后研究员、助理教授)，以帮助塑造未来的STS研究。讲习班围绕以下几个主题举办：新出现的公共环境问题，科学及其对公众的理解的有效传播，治理，开放更多政策选择和更广泛民主参与的可能性，环境不平等和不公正，以及新的社会技术和社会远见者如何融入现有系统。研讨会参与者将在每个研究领域被招募，以总结已知的，公开讨论未回答的问题，并为报告和教学产品做出贡献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
