Abstract

This short contribution traces the author's journey in English universities, through innovation studies to STS in the last two decades of the twentieth century. It highlights the diversity of meanings of the concept of 'innovation', over time, across disciplines and social actors, and the importance of continuing to contest definitions. It concludes by reflecting on what innovation studies can offer to STS scholarship.
