"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Law interacts with society and the material world in various ways, with science and technology increasingly at the heart of these interactions. Contemporary scholarship reveals how interactions of law and science co-produce the worlds we live in, and the hidden ways in which law operates.
Material Worlds: Intersections of Law, Science, Technology, and Society highlights the growing body of research showing current directions of the engagement between Socio-legal Studies (SLS) and Science and Technology Studies (STS). The book’s empirical studies help us understand how law and technology shape crucial contemporary experiences – climate change, crime detection, biomedical technology, genetics, and more.
The intersection between law and materiality is a particularly fruitful meeting-point, and this study of the existing and future research across these disciplines will lead to a better understanding of both.
