Jonathan D.H. Lange Jonathan Lange is a Reader in Science and Technology Studies at University College London. His research focuses on how economic and other social structural forces shape scientific institutions and the production of scientific knowledge. Throughout his career he has struggled to articulate a post-constructivist social theory of science which explains how macro-social structures and micro-social practices interact with material reality in order to produce knowledge about the world. He is the author of //Where the Brook is Deep: Social Economies of Hydrological Knowledge// (2015) and //Biotechnology in Crisis: Power and Struggle on a Scientific Field// (2019) as well as the co-editor of //Rethinking Bourdieu in Science Studies// (2017). He is also the author of numerous articles, most recently, "A Life of all too little Revaluation: Some Elementary Comments on the Asocial Theory of R.B. Mitchell" in //Science as Culture.//
