Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society
Editor-in-Chief: Bill Vanderburg Centre for Technology & Social Development, University of Toronto

The goal of the Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society is to provide a means of communication within as wide of a spectrum of the STS community as possible. This includes faculty and students from sciences, engineering, the humanities, and social science in the newly emerging groups on university and college campuses, and in the high school systems, all of which teach integrative STS subject matters. It also includes professionals in government, industry and universities, ranging from philosophers and historians of science to social scientists concerned with the effects of science and technology, scientists and engineers involved with the study and policy-making of their own craft, and the concerned general leader. A third category of readers represents "society": all journalists dealing with the impacts of science and technology in their respected fields, the public interest groups and the attentive public.

The scope of the Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society is that which is of value in STS pedagogy at either the university or K-12 level. Such material can include original articles describing research or reflection on STS topics. The journal emphasizes articles of general interest in the STS field, which can be used in teaching undergraduate or K-12 students. Educational modules are suitable for instruction in STS courses at the college or K-12 level. Appropriate subjects include:

The place of science and technology in societies
Technology, science and policy
Technology assessment
Impact of technology upon human values and religious insights
The public understanding of technology and science
News items regarding public and scholarly events in the area of STS
Professional Activities of individuals who are active in STS
Letters to the editor and responses of earlier printed articles
Book reviews, especially of core STS books
