STS+Studies+of+Japan

We should also note that foundational studies related to disasters and the underlying scientific and engineering disciplines in Japan already exist in English. Most relevant, within the field of STS would be Greg Clancey’s //Earthquake Nation: The Cultural Politics of Japanese Seismicity, 1868-1930// (2006); while the most noted comparative study of the U.S. and Japanese scientific community, which also contains relevant insights about characteristic national differences in the interaction between scientists and engineers, remains Traweek (1988).
