STS and democracy co-produced? The making of public dialogue as a technology of participation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Democracy has long been studied and theorised in science and technology studies (STS) in relation to technoscience (Ezrahi 1990; Latour 1993; Jasanoff 2004). However, a growing body of work treats democracy and participation as objects of study and experimental interventions in their own right (Laurent 2017; Chilvers and Kearnes 2016; Lezaun et al. 2017; Voss and Freeman 2016). In this chapter we seek to make to two contributions to these ‘co-productionist1’ STS engagements with democracy and democratic situations.
