Abstract
Inequality has been of significant interest to Science and Technology Studies (STS) from the beginning. This entry looks at key works from the field that have helped us understand the relationship between science, technology, expertise and inequality. This includes those asking questions about whose voices are heard and whose left out in the process of knowledge production, why some perspectives are considered expert knowledge while others aren’t, and who benefits most from science and technological developments; as well as more recent work helping us understand how technology and innovation is underpinning current concerns about growing inequality across the globe.
