Fri, August 31, 9:00 to 10:30am, ICC, C2.6

Session Submission Type: Open Panel

Abstract

The papers in this session focus on specific case studies of scientific research in various Asian countries and ask how gender, culture, and developmental stage influence the practice and remuneration of scientific research, and the emergence of new sub-fields of knowledge such as biotechnology in various Asian countries. Several of the papers focus on the nexus of state, science, and market in Asia, and the ways in which boundaries and linkages are contested, redrawn, and sometimes erased.
