How can the social sciences can help us understand the nuclear world? Les chantiers du nucléaire. International Conference |
The interdisciplinary conference " Which social science approaches for nuclear?" seeks to reassess the relations between nuclear and social science research. It has two objectives. First, it seeks to take stock of and build on existing research by making explicit the theoretical approaches, the research methods, the difficulties met by researchers and by possibly identifying aspects of the nuclear phenomenon that may have been neglected or left out by existing research. Second, we would like to question the relevance of social science to contemporary nuclear debates and collectively delineate an agenda for future research on an international scale.
