Economic Sociology and Technology Conference
View conference agenda
Conference co-sponsored by Cornell University Department of Science and Technology Studies; Cornell University Institute for the Social Sciences; Center for the Study of Economy and Society
During the last ten or fifteen years the social study of science and technology and economic sociology have moved closer together. Within the social study of science and technology researchers are increasingly looking at economic activity such as markets, and within economic sociology researchers are increasingly seeing the need to analyze technology. Thus far, however, these two fields of study have had little contact with one another. The "Economic Sociology and Technology" conference will attempt to draw the two fields together to explore links and possible differences and future research agendas.

The Cornell Club
New York City "Future of the Social Sciences II Conference"
Conference co-organized by Victor Nee (Cornell), Barnaby Marsh (Oxford) and Douglass North (Washington University)
This conference was conceived to further advance an especially successful theme initiated by Douglass North in the October 2004 Future of the Social Sciences Conference at
Washington University in St. Louis. The 2004 conference focused on the goal of harnessing the social sciences to address an array of real-world challenges such as health, education, governance, and institutional transparency, and why the social sciences, as presently constituted, fall short in addressing these challenges. The 2005 conference will assemble a small working group of visionary thinkers in the social sciences to comprehend these challenges and to play an active role in finding the most strategic focus points that will move the new paradigm forward.
