Science Interrupted: Rethinking Research Practice with Bureaucracy, Agroforestry

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Science Interrupted by Timothy G. McLellan "An ethnography of an agroenvironmental research center in southwest China. The book takes the experiences of the staff navigating diverse international funding regimes and authoritarian state institutions as an entry point for understanding the increasingly pervasive place of bureaucracy in contemporary science"-- FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Science Interrupted examines how scientists in China pursue environmental sustainability within the constraints of domestic and international bureaucracies. Timothy G. McLellan offers a theoretical framework for analyzing the formal procedural work of Chinese bureaucracy-work that is overlooked when China scholars restrict their gaze to the informal and interpersonal channels through which bureaucracy is often navigated. Homing in on an agroforestry research organization in southwest China, the author takes the experiences of the organizations staff in navigating diverse international funding regimes and authoritarian state institutions as entry points for understanding the pervasiveness of bureaucracy in contemporary science. He asks: What if we take the tools, sensibilities, and practices of bureaucracies seriously not only as objects of critique but as resources for re-thinking scientific practice? Extending a mode of anthropological research in which ethnography serves as source of theory as well as source of data, Science Interrupted thinks with, and not only against, bureaucracy. McLellan shows that ethnographic engagement with bureaucracy enables us to imagine more democratic and more collaborative modes of scientific practice. Author Biography Timothy G.
