Cambridge Studies in Society and the Life SciencesReihe

Diese Reihe erforscht die faszinierende Schnittstelle zwischen Sozialwissenschaften und Entwicklungen in den Biowissenschaften. Sie untersucht, wie wissenschaftliche Entdeckungen geformt und verstanden werden und welche breiteren gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen sie haben. Die Publikationen zeichnen sich durch einen interdisziplinären Ansatz mit einer starken empirischen Grundlage aus, der oft einen internationalen Kontext berücksichtigt und gleichzeitig nationale Unterschiede in ethischen, moralischen und rechtlichen Kodizes anerkennt.
