A theoretical integration of science and technology studies and social movement studies that finds both common ground and undone research.

As the fields of social movement studies (SMS) and science and technology studies (STS) have diversified in topical focus, they have moved closer to each other. SMS has turned toward the study of nonstate targets and institutionalized repertoires of action, just as STS has turned to expertise and publics. In Undone Science, David Hess argues that a theoretical integration of core concepts in the two fields is now possible, and he presents just such a synthesis. Hess focuses on industrial transition movements--mobilized counterpublics of activists, advocates, entrepreneurs, and other agents of change--and examines several areas of common ground between the two fields relevant to these movements. His account reveals the problem of undone science--areas of research potentially valuable to the goals of industrial transition movements that have been systematically ignored.
