Science, Technology, Security: Towards Critical Collaboration

Abstract

According to this journal article by Sam Weiss Evans, CSS' Matthias Leese and Dagmar Rychnovská, science and technology play a central role in the contemporary governance of security, both as tools for the production of security and as objects of security concern. Scholars are increasingly seeking to not only critically reflect on the interplays between science, technology and security, but also engage with the practices of security communities that shape and are shaped by science and technology. To further help this growth of interest in security topics within science and technology studies (STS), the article explores possible modes of socio-technical collaboration with security communities of practice.
