Assignment 1: Applied SCOT

Choose a topic with which you are very familiar — this is not a research paper but an analytical exercise.  Pick a fairly applied topic, a sort of case study, parallel to Bijker’s bicycle analysis.

Analyze your topic using SCOT.  Describe how the major concepts of SCOT help you understand the topic and developments over time.

We will define “technology” loosely, but you do need to stick pretty closely to SCOT.  The purpose of this exercise is to better understand SCOT by using it.

If relevant, include a discussion of limits of SCOT for this topic or case.

Approximately 1000-1500 words, or 3 to 5 pages.

Please submit BOTH on paper and electronically.

Due Sept. 15.
