Daryn Lehoux (Queen’s University) works in the field of the History and Philosophy of Science. He has published extensively on how theories that were once accepted as facts come to be distrusted or even rejected. See his widely-reviewed What Did the Romans Know? An Inquiry into Science and Worldmaking, his Creatures Born of Mud and Slime: The Wonder and Complexity of Spontaneous Generation, and Astronomy, Weather, and Calendars in the Ancient World, which ask fundamental questions about the epistemology of the sciences given their historical situatedness.
Sergio Sismondo (Queen’s University) works in the field Science and Technology Studies, in which he has written one of the standard textbooks, An Introduction to Science and Technology Studies (2nd ed, 2010), as well as a number of other general or theoretical works. He is the editor of Social Studies of Science, one of STS’s flagship journals. His empirical work is on intersections of pharmaceutical research and marketing; see his Ghost-Managed Medicine: Big Pharma’s Invisible Hands.
