This document contains the text of 50 papers presented at a national conference that focused on the relationships among science, technology, and society (STS). Most of the papers presented featured one of five major thematic areas around which the National Association for Science, Technology and Society is organized: education and information; environment; health and biomedicine; moral, ethical, and philosophical perspectives; and technology, industry, and work. Several papers focused on the special theme of the conference: "Broadening Participation in Science, Technology and Medicine" (the STS community needs to encourage further participation by and seek out perspectives on women, minorities, and the international community in STS studies). The papers are divided into three main sections: broadening participation, the nature of STS and STS interactions, and education from kindergarten through post-secondary and beyond. A complete conference program also is included. (DB)
