Science studies

In academics, science studies is an umbrella term encompassing the disciplines known separately as history of science, sociology of science, philosophy of science and more rarely the Logic and methodology of science. Science studies scholars also include anthropologists. The success of science at generating useful and reliable understandings about the world has attracted curiosity from diverse perspectives, including curiosities oriented toward culture, politics and epistemology. An overarching goal that applies to many science studies research projects is to learn how scientific understanding progresses.
