DAGNINO, Renato. Postgraduate studies in science, technology and society: an inclusive proposal. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.45, pp.339-355. ISSN 1981-0431. https://doi.org/10.2015/lcv21n45.006.
Success of social inclusion policies will make explicit material needs, whose satisfaction demands unique technoscientific solutions for production of goods and services in unusual quantity and of unusual quality. Singular Public policies will have to be developed, based on research and dissemination of original technoscientific knowledge, and exploring the organization of work during their production and circulation. This, in order to make of social inclusion an alternative path of development. The "Sociotechnical Adaptation" proposal for redesigning conventional technology (operated by private companies) and development of Social Technology is a cognitive vector adequate to face this challenge. This requires professionals, an essential element of whose training would be a postgraduate course in Science, Technology and Society Studies.
