nanoScience and Technology Studies

University of South Carolina

nSTS is a group of researchers at USC trained in a variety of disciplines who pursue scholarly research and education about the societal, epistemological, and ethical dimensions of nanotechnologies.  We recognize the value of multiple points of view and support contributions originating both from interdisciplinary perspectives and from the traditional disciplines.  By design, our research bridges across the humanities, social sciences, sciences, engineering, medicine, and the professions. Work produced by nSTS scholars may speak to a variety of audiences, including academics, students, those involved in government and policy, diverse professional fields, and lay publics.

NANO FUTURE FORUM (April 2007): At the State Museum in Columbia SC, participants in the Nano Future Forums discuss nanomedicine and human enhancements.
