This book examines the practices of contesting evidence in democratically constituted knowledge societies. It provides a multifaceted view of the processes and conditions of evidence criticism and how they determine the dynamics of de- and re-stabilization of evidence.Evidence is an essential resource for establishing claims of validity, resolving conflicts, and legitimizing decisions. In recent times, however, evidence is being contested with increasing frequency. Such contestations vary in form and severity – from questioning the interpretation of data or the methodological soundness of studies to accusations of evidence fabrication. The contributors to this volume explore which actors, for what reasons and to what effect, question evidence in fields such as the biological, environmental and health sciences. In addition to actors inside academia, they examine the roles of various other players, including citizen scientists, counter-experts, journalists, patients, consumers and activists. The contributors tackle questions of how disagreements are framed and how they are used to promote vested interests. By drawing on methodological and theoretical approaches from a wide range of fields, this book provides a much-needed perspective on how evidence criticism influences the development and state of knowledge societies and their political condition.Evidence Contestation will appeal to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of science, epistemology, bioethics, science and technology studies, the history of science and technology and science communication. - Häftad, Engelska, 2024

Women engineers have been in the public limelight for decades, yet we have surprisingly little historically grounded understanding of the patterns of employment and education of women in this field. Most studies are either policy papers or limited to statistical analyses. Moreover, the scant historical research so far available emphasizes the individual, single and unique character of those women working in engineering, often using anecdotal evidence but ignoring larger issues like the patterns of the labour market and educational institutions.Crossing Boundaries, Building Bridges offers answers to the question why women engineers have required special permits to pass through the male guarded gates of engineering and examines how they have managed this. It explores the differences and similarities between women engineers in nine countries from a gender point of view. Through case studies the book considers the mechanisms of exclusion and inclusion of women engineers.

Dieser Band thematisiert Pflanzen und Lebensmittel als hochgradig artifizielle, aber dennoch lebendige Dinge und Wesen. Ausgehend vom technikphilosophischen Konzept der "Biofakte" (Nicole C. Karafyllis), analysieren die Autor/innen aktuelle und zeitgeschichtliche Entwicklungen in Landwirtschaft und Ernährung. Biofakte, so wird gezeigt, unterlaufen die traditionelle Unterscheidung von unbelebter Technik und lebender Natur und damit auch die praktischen Zuschreibungen und moralischen Erwartungen, die damit verbunden sind. Diese Mehrdeutigkeit von Kulturpflanzen und Lebensmitteln wird im vorliegenden Band aus der Perspektive der Geschichtswissenschaften, Soziologie, Philosophie und Designtheorie beleuchtet. Der geografische Radius umspannt Afrika und Europa; der historische das beginnende 20. Jahrhundert, die Gegenwart und ihre Zukunftsvisionen.Mit Beiträgen vonVeit Braun, Lukas Breitwieser, Bernhard Gill, Nicole Karafyllis, Johanna Kleinert, Sabine Maasen, Barbara Sutter, Franziska Torma, Laura Trachte, Karin Zachmann - Häftad, Engelska, 2000
