This book analyzes future directions in the study of expertise and experience with the aim of engendering more critical discourse on the general discipline of science and technology studies. In 2002 Collins and Evans published an article entitled The Third Wave of Science Studies suggesting that the future of science and technology studies would be to engage in Studies in Expertise and Experience.ampampnbsp In their view scientific expertise in legal and policy settings should reflect a consensus of formallytrained scientists and citizens with experience in the relevant field but not ordinary citizens. The Third Wave has garnered attention in journals and in international workshops where scholars delivered papers explicating the theoretical foundations and practical applications of the Third Wave.
