The broad empirical study of knowledge as a social phenomenon—how it's created, shared, contested, and preserved across societies. Social Sciences of Knowledge includes sociology of knowledge, anthropology of knowledge, history of knowledge, and science and technology studies. It examines how power shapes knowledge, how institutions validate it, how communities maintain it, how technologies transform it. It's the study of knowing as a human activity, in all its messy social reality.

"You think knowledge is just true belief. Social sciences of knowledge asks: then why do different societies have different knowledge? Why does knowledge change? Why do some knowers get believed and others ignored? Knowledge is social, and social science shows how. Not to relativize, but to understand."
