<p class="Body1" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;"><b style=""><span style="">Focused
Discussion Topic: Science and Public Controversy</span></b><b style=""><span style=""></span></b></p>
<p class="Body1" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="">The relationship between science and
the public is often framed in terms of controversy. From early modern arguments
over the age of the Earth and its place in the cosmos, through twentieth
century discussions of the biological credibility of racial categories, to
contemporary debates over the production of genetically modified foods and the
anthropogenic nature of global climate change, science has served to both
create and resolve controversy. Science, in turn, has been shaped by political
and social controversies. </span><span style=""></span></p>
<p class="Body1" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="">The variegated interactions
throughout history between science and the public raise a host of questions,
particularly concerning the <i style="">appropriate</i>
and <i style="">inappropriate</i> roles of science in
public life. Historical episodes of scientists engaging in public controversies
offer historians and philosophers of science an ideal starting point for
investigating the complicated inter-relations between scientific research and
public life. </span><span style=""></span></p>
<p class="Body1" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="">In this issue of <i style="">Spontaneous Generations</i><span style="">,</span> we invite papers for a focused
discussion that will explore and give new perspectives on the relationship
between science and public controversy from antiquity to the present.</span><span style=""></span></p>
