Call for Nominations
The Science, Knowledge, and Technology Section of the American Sociological Association invites nominations for the 2015 Star-Nelkin Paper Award.

SKAT welcomes nominations of published articles that advance the field of sociology of science, knowledge, and technology. To be eligible, an article’s earliest date of publication in a scholarly journal (whether online or in print) must have been in 2013 or 2014.
