Psychiatry, sociology, geography, public policy, social work, and construction management and engineering specialists from North America present eight essays on changes in scientific and technological policies and practices that occurred with the rise of neoliberal thought since the 1970s. The essays were first presented at a workshop at the U. of Wisconsin in June 2012 and draw on field theory, including Bourdieusian, strategic action, and organizational field theories, and focus on the problems of interfield relations and institutional logics. They discuss the concept of autonomous-heteronomous polarity of the scientific field and the producer and user-oriented poles; how the modes of science operate simultaneously and how scientists negotiate their relationship with both; regulatory policy and science for stream restoration and intrafield relations; the different regulatory outcomes to the problem of accelerated honey bee die-offs in France and the US; climate denialism; green building standards in the UK as an example of the liberalization of industrial regulation through voluntary standards; strategic action fields and the move toward the market in US academic science; the circulation of knowledge associated with nutritional science; and the institutional context in which citizen science has become a key method in investigating the impacts of shale gas development by hydraulic fracturing or 'fracking.'
