AOK: Introduction

We study the AoKs in the following way: 

• Scope and applications

• Specific language/terminology (e.g. technical vocabulary) and concepts

• Methods used to produce knowledge (think about the Ways of Knowing)

• Key historical developments (how has the AoK changed over time, if it has at all)

• Interaction with personal knowledge (AoKs include shared knowledge, is this changed by personal knowledge? Does it change our personal knowledge?)
