7 PREF ACE This book was inspired by an international conference Politics and Context of Science Studies during the Cold War and Beyond, held at the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg in Greifswald on March 22 24, The workshop s organizer, Elena Aronova, was generously offered this opportunity as a fellow-in-residence at the Wissenschaftskolleg. Her work on the history of the studies of science in Cold War America and the Soviet Union motivated the aim of the workshop: to investigate a variety of national science studies projects across the East West and Global North South divides during the Cold War, as a counterbalance to the extant historiography of science studies that focuses almost exclusively on the discussions in the West (the USA and Western Europe). The response to the call for papers confirmed what was obvious at the time: that almost everyone in the field was interested in the field s origins, contexts, and politics, but it was hard to find anyone who actually researched the subject the way historians of science research the history of other fields in the Cold War. The workshop thus became an incentive for many participants to dig into the archives, to survey the literature in a systematic fashion, and, in some cases, to reflect on their own past. Indeed, several contributors have been directly or indirectly involved in the episodes they historicize in their chapters. The initial versions of the papers presented at the workshop generated the discussion that continued further. The institutional support of the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg in Greifswald and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin allowed this project to evolve. With Simone Turchetti as a co-editor, we took the next step, making vii
8 viii PREFACE additional selection of contributions to strengthen the book s coherence around three parts: Science Studies in the West, Studies of Science Behind the Curtain, and National Agendas of the Studies of Science Beyond the Two Blocs. Elena Aronova would like to thank all the guests of the initial workshop and the keynote speaker, Naomi Oreskes, for their generous and stimulating interventions, as well as for their enthusiastic response and support without which this project would never have materialized. A special word of gratitude is due to the Wissenschaftskolleg staff that contributed to making the initial workshop an important inspiration to pursue the project further. Simone Turchetti would like to thank Jonathan Harwood, Gianni Battimelli, Paul Forman, John Krige, Michael Worboys, Roy MacLeod, John Christie, and Pietro Corsi for exchanging their views during the completion of his chapter. Turchetti s research was funded by the European Research Council. Michal Kokowski would like to express his gratitude to the editors of the volume, Elena Aronova and Simone Turchetti, for their helpful comments, criticism, and editorial work. Kokowski also acknowledges Aronova for arousing his interest in the subject through her publications. Lu Gao would like to acknowledge Zuoyue Wang who introduced her to Aronova and encouraged to pursue her research. Hans-Joachim Dahms thanks George Reisch for discussions in Greifswald, in Berlin, and on the internet. Thanks also for permission to cite from his unpublished articles! Dahms is also indebted to Aronova and Turchetti for discussions on his article. Ian James Kidd acknowledges Donald Gillies and Paul Hoyningen-Huene for helpful discussions, and the editors for their kind invitation to contribute to this volume and their helpful comments on earlier drafts. Kidd s research was funded by an Addison Wheeler Fellowship. Sommer s research was funded by the European Research Council and the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR). Vasen acknowledges the University of Quilmes and CONICET for institutional and financial support and Adriana Feld and Judith Naidorf for enriching discussions on the paper.
