MarcusXavier Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Guys, So I'll probably be applying this year and I'm really interested in the Sociology of Science and also in the Sociology of Knowledge (I'm using this in the sense of studies of things like Information, Art, and Culture). It appears that some other people here share my interests in the Sociology of Science. It would be great if people could post some info about sociology departments or specific researchers who are doing a lot of interesting work on the Sociology of Science. I'll start: History and Sociology of Science at Upenn: http://hss.sas.upenn.edu/mt-static/ Dept. of Science and technology at Cornell http://www.sts.cornell.edu/ STS at Wisconsin http://www.sts.wisc.edu/ All these places seem to be focused on Science specifically. It would be great to find a sociology department that had a strong sociology of science background as well as other programs in knowledge and culture. I would appreciate any help in cultivating info. Please add whatever you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewurgler Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Check out UCSD. They have a strong interdisciplinary science studies program and are very strong in culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterpat Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 UIUC's department focuses on that quite a bit, if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewurgler Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm at Indiana and Tom Gieryn is now a provost and will be doing little teaching/advising with sociology after this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
