Building a socio-technical energy research community: Theory, practice and impact

Here I respond to the seven papers that look at my original paper on the use of physics in the social studies of energy [5] and offer up clarifications, extensions and some rebuttals. It is clear from the respondents that a shared vision for an inter- cross- and transdisciplinary agenda across physics and engineering with the social sciences exists, and major steps have already been made in bringing these perspectives together.
