Talking STS is a collection of interviews and accompanying reflections on the origins, the present and the future of the field referred to as Science and Technology Studies or Science, Technology and Society (STS). The volume assembles the thoughts and recollections of some of the leading figures in the making of this field. The occasion for producing the collection has been the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of Edinburgh’s Science Studies Unit (SSU). The Unit’s place in the history of STS is consequently a recurring theme of the volume. However, the interviews assembled here have a broader purpose – to present interviewees’ situated and idiosyncratic experiences and perspectives on STS, going beyond the contributions made to it by any one individual, department or institution. Both individually and collectively, these conversations provide autobiographically informed insights on STS. Together with the reflections, they prompt further discussion, reflection and questioning about this constantly evolving field.

简介：会说话的STS

Talking STS是对被称为科学技术研究或科学，技术与社会（STS）的领域的起源，现在和未来的访谈和伴随的思考的集合。该卷汇集了该领域中一些主要人物的想法和回忆。爱丁堡大学科学研究室（SSU）成立五十周年之际，就产生了该收藏。因此，该股在STS历史上的地位是该卷反复出现的主题。但是，这里进行的访谈具有更广泛的目的–展示受访者在STS上的处境和特质体验和观点，这超出了任何个人，部门或机构对此所做的贡献。无论是个人还是集体，这些对话可提供有关STS的自传知情见解。他们与思考一起，促使人们对这个不断发展的领域进行进一步的讨论，思考和质疑。
