This book is a pioneering exploration of science and society through insights gathered from social movements in India post-Independence. Based on rigorous empirical investigation of civil society organisations, it unearths the genealogy of science activism in India while raising pertinent questions on science-society coupling.
This interdisciplinary volume spotlights cases and focused content which thoroughly analyses mobilisation, institutionalisation and how science movement organisations have emerged and changed since Independence. Drawing out theoretical perspectives on the people’s science movement in India, it identifies new areas of research in science, technology and society studies.
Written in a lucid and engaging style, this book will be useful to the departments of Sociology, Anthropology, Philosophy, Political Science, Education, Social Work, Development Studies, Science and Technology Studies, and South Asian Studies. It would also be useful to social activists, social workers, and professionals in the voluntary sector.
