Uprichard, Emma – Children & Society, 2010
This paper argues that current child and childhood research is problematical in as much as there is a discrepancy between theory and research practice. Although in theory, children are conceptualised as active agents in the social world, the type of research that children are typically involved in implies that children are competent, knowledgeable…

Hansen, Birgitte Gorm – Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, 2011
Whether celebratory or critical, STS research on science-industry relations has focused on the blurring of boundaries and hybridization of codes and practices.
