During the last ten or fifteen years, the social study of science and technology and economic sociology have moved closer together. Within the social study of science and technology, researchers are increasingly looking at economic activity such as markets, and within economic sociology researchers are increasingly seeing the need to analyse technology. Thus far, however, these two fields of study have had little contact with one another. The 'Economic Sociology and Technology' conference will attempt to draw the two fields together to explore links and possible differences and future research agendas.

We seek papers that span the two worlds of science/technology and the economy, from a social perspective, and which suggest ways of integrating them. We particularly welcome contributions which draw upon detailed examples or case studies.
