Steve Sturdy joined the staff of the University of Edinburgh in 1994 as a lecturer in the Science Studies Unit, and was appointed Deputy Director of the ESRC Genomics Forum in September 2006. Originally trained in the natural sciences, he began postgraduate studies in philosophy of science, but quickly moved into social studies of science,which he found to offer a more satisfactory account of what scientists actually do.
Steve's research combines perspectives from the history and sociology of medicine and the sociology of scientific knowledge, and focuses on the evolving relationship between medical science, medical practice and medical policy in Britain since the mid-19th century.
Steve has published widely in academic journals and edited collections. He has also edited; Medicine, Health and the Public Sphere in Britain,1600-2000 (Routledge, 2002) and, with Roger Cooter and Mark Harrison,War, Medicine and Modernity (Sutton, 1998) and Medicine and Modern Warfare (Rodopi, 1999).
