Franklin cites anthropologists' conversational approach and greater sensitiviety to context as evidence of their ability to engender more productive and collaborative research programs for STS. “In contrast, several scholars represented in Marcus, using a more conversational approach to scientists' own accounts of their knowledge practices, show a high degree of self-consciousness of the vicissitudes of intellectual life as a result of its embeddedness in a wider social, cultural, and historical context. Such tensions reveal the kinds of conversations that might usefully occur in a climate less marked by defensiveness and mistrust fostered by the higher suspicions of recent science critics.” (165)
“Among the scholars whose work exemplified these new directions are feminists such as Donna Haraway (1989, 1991, 1997), Karen Barad (2007), or Evelyn Fox Keller in her later work (1995, 2000, 2002); anthropologists such as Sharon Traweek (1988, 1992, 2000), Emily Martin (1994, 2007), Paul Rabinow (1996a, 1996b, 1999), Sarah Franklin (1997, 2003, 2007), or Stefan Helmreich (1998, 2009); such historiographically reflective historians as James Bono (1990), Hans-Jo¨rg Rheinberger (1997), Paul Edwards (1996), Peter Galison (1997), Timothy Lenoir (1997), or V. Betty Smocovitis (1996); symbolic interactionist sociologists like Joan Fujimura (1996), Adele Clarke (1998; see also Clarke and Fujimura 1992); Leigh Star (1989), or Charis Thompson (2005); and even the occasional philosopher, such as Annemarie Mol (2002), Arnold Davidson (2001), Alison Wylie (2002), or myself.” (13)
