| Abstract | Bijker calls for scholars in science and technology studies (STS) to become public intellectuals by actively working toward “democratizing . . . technological culture.” Many STS scholars have developed practices that support democratic and public activity; yet, these typically require individual commitment with inadequate institutional support. The public work of STS scholars can be better supported through a program that includes (1) using specialist research in nonreproductive educational contexts, (2) redefining and revaluing academic service, (3) developing more accessible ways of writing, and (4) publishing and valuing STS-based texts that circulate among nonacademic audiences. |
