Whether as a substantive topic, a source of methodological innovation, or a novel model of engagement with users and publics, Design has come to influence how research is conducted in STS. Conversely, STS now informs ongoing developments in Design's research practices, providing a rich  source of concepts, an analytically inspiring resource, and a means to empirical complexification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cutting across an array of conceptual, methodological and substantive registers, \u003ci\u003eEnfolding Design and STS\u003c\/i\u003e develops a new treatment of recent interdisciplinary engagements where knowledge production, interventionist methods and practices of making are brought together, re-thought and transformed at both theoretical and empirical levels. Along the way, the authors draw on a diverse set of case studies including examples of environmental, biomedical, computational and domestic processes, and a variety of theoretical framings such as post-Actor-Network Theory, assemblage theory, Whiteheadian process philosophy, and ontological aesthetics. Building on these discussions, this book offers a fresh topological perspective that, tentatively and heuristically, provides a conceptual vocabulary and a methodological toolkit for navigating the unfolding interdisciplinary mutualities of STS and Design\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlex Wilkie\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor in the Department of Design at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMike Michael\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor in the Department of Social and Political Sciences, Philosophy and Anthropology at the University of Exeter, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e03 September 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Visual Arts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350056824\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e216\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.44\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51369669394572,"sku":"9781350056824","price":31.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_9bf572ac-cbb8-4ae4-bcfa-338fca64fa7d.jpg?v=1783880092","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781350056824","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
