Dear Neil:
Offhand I would say wait until my dissertation is out later this
year (cf. "Liberating Science: Radical Scientists in America, 1968-1974"),
but if you need some sources in a hurry, you would do well to examine:
* Kathy Greeley and Sue Tafler, "Science for the People: A Ten Year
Retrospective," SftP, 11 (No. 1, January/February 1979), 18-25.
* Herb Fox, "A History of SESPA," SftP, 2 (No. 4, December 1970), 2-3.
* Kelly Moore, "Organizing Intregity: American Science and Public Interest
Organizations, 1955-1975," AMER. J. SOCIOLOGY, 101 (No. 6, 1996),
1592-1627.
* Jon Beckwith, "The Radical Science Movement in the United States,"
MONTHLY REVIEW, 38 (August 1986), 1198-28.
* Donna Haraway, "The Transformation of the Left in Science: Radical
Associations in Britain in the '30s and the USA in the '60s," SOUNDINGS,
58 (1975), 441-62.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Pat
