The STS Curriculum: What Have We Learned in Twenty Years?

Lehigh University

The interdisciplinary academic field of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) Studies is now approximately two decades old. As the field has evolved, its central curricular mission has come to be the explication of science and technology as complex enterprises that take place in specific social contexts shaped by, and in turn, shaping, human values as reflected and refracted in cultural, political, and economic institutions. Despite, or perhaps because of, the field's maturation, there remain a number of as yet unanswered questions that bear consideration as STS enters the decade of the 1990s.
