Drawing on social science perspectives, this book presents empirical studies that engage with the often shifting and day-to-day realities of life sciences categories. It shows how such categories remain contested and dynamic, and that the boundaries they create are subject to negotiation as well as re-configuration and re-stabilization processes.
