Lost in Space: Place, Space, and Scale in the Production of Ignorance. Frickel, S. & Kinchy, A. In Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies. Routledge, 2 edition, 2022. Num Pages: 10
abstract   bibtex   
This chapter takes up the problem of ignorance and geographical space from the vantage point of Science and Technology Studies (STS), viewing ignorance as a cultural artifact whose production is deeply intertwined with epistemic, social, and spatial processes. A brief review of scholars’ place- and space-based arguments about ignorance production lend focus to an extended discussion of ignorance and scale. Drawing widely on STS studies of environmental science, we argue that scale matters in terms of problem framing and data organization and describe work showing how both practices condition what becomes known and what remains unknown.
