Mode 2 society and the emergence of context-sensitive science

Michael Gibbons

Science and Public Policy, 2000, vol. 27, issue 3, 159-163

Abstract: The notion of context-sensitive science is put forward as a way to approach what might be meant by interactive social science. Universities are now operating in a social environment which values research but which also has the ability and in some cases the resources to play a greater role in influencing what research is carried out and how. The environment is ‘speaking back’ to science and society is looking for leadership in the production of context-sensitive science. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
