Humanities Forum lecture at UMBC by Steve Fuller, Professor of Sociology, University of Warwick, UK. The contest for authority to speak about science and technology, called the science wars, has often been framed in terms of CP Snows analysis. Fuller argues that few recent commentators are familiar with the historical trajectory that transports us from Snows earlier concerns to concerns of the present. He focuses on the curious alignments that have transpired over the course of the Science Wars. Note from Steve Fuller: "Also after the talk last night, I realized that I misspoke in the final question (which I think was asked by one of your deans), concerning the parallels between economic arguments for blue-skies science and for the arts. This was a really good point - but I botched it by giving the name of the wrong economist. It wasn't James Tobin (who happened to be a jazz aficionado!) but William Baumol. There's actually a handbook on the topic: www.elsevier.com
