Seeking to recover language as a force that collectively enables people to transform their world, Fuller (Center for the Study of Science in Society, Virginia Tech) promotes the idea of social epistemology in order to foster closer cooperation between humanists and social scientists in the emerging interdisciplinary complex known as Science and Technology Studies (STS). STS practitioners employ methods that enable them to fathom both the "inner workings" and the "outer character" of science without having to be expert in the fields they study. The success of such a practice bodes well for extending science's sphere of accountability, presumably toward a greater democratization of the scientific decision-making process.
