"Most interesting to me is the ways that the socialist feminist interactionists (and deconstructivists) end up in a place where what they are endorsing is a radical democratization of Merton's communalism... they are pushing for scientifically transparent engagements w/r/t social interests and technical consequences when it comes to science..."

Well, good luck with that! If you want to read a scientists' response to the radical critique, I recommend my brother-in-law Manjit Kumar's book (with John Gillott) Science and the Retreat from Reason (Monthly Review Press/Merlin 1995).
