Document Summary

Knowledge production: is based on novel relations between science and society. There are two modes of knowledge production mentioned in the kirsch article. Mode 1 knowledge production is based on the assumption that science and society are separate domains. This division allows for productive kinds of transactions, such as the transformation of scientific data into policy through political processes. Mode 2 science is dispersed across a variety of institutions and includes nontraditional participants. It is more heterogeneous reflexive, and socially accountable than the traditional practices of science associated with mode 1 knowledge production. Explain and state examples of the three modes of knowledge production. The shift from mode 1 to mode 2 knowledge production facilitated the emergence of concepts like biodiversity, which infuses biology with a conservation ethic (wilson 1992), and sustainability, which combines economic interests with environmental concerns. Science and society are separate establishments of objective point of view. Where you can touch knowledge mode 1 is objective.
