1. Political Theory of Knowledge

Political theory of knowledge means to study the political nature of science and technology in the public sphere. Theoretically, a critical question in this field is how the science and technology themselves are political, rather than how they are related to the politics in the ordinary sense. And, the notion of "knowledge" should encompass not only the products and practice of science and technology but also those of so-called "local knowledge".
