+Downey, with Joseph Dumit and Sarah Williams, published "Cyborg Anthropology" in ''Cultural Anthropology'' in 1995, the paper that proposed the term as a research program for the discipline rather than as a metaphor. The same year he and Dumit edited ''Cyborgs and Citadels: Anthropological Interventions in Emerging Sciences and Technologies'', which grew out of a School of American Research advanced seminar.

+The volume sets two problems side by side. The Citadel problem concerns how science acquires the authority to determine what counts as true. The Cyborg problem concerns the boundary between humans and machines, and how science, technology, and medicine participate in making everyday lives and selves.<ref name="books">[https://www.downey.sts.vt.edu/books/ Books], Gary Downey, Virginia Tech.</ref> The field sites include a prenatal sonogram clinic, an inner-city AIDS clinic, a molecular biotechnology lab, a conference on Marfan syndrome, a brain imaging center, a particle physics lab, and an undergraduate engineering program.<ref name="books" />

+The premise he brought to Virginia Tech in 1983 was that engineers could become leaders in anticipating and addressing the social effects of new technologies.<ref name="vtx" /> His research examines the relationship between the technical and nontechnical dimensions of engineering education and practice, and how that relationship changes over time and from place to place.<ref name="voa">[https://news.vt.edu/articles/2011/01/012611-clahs-downey.html Virginia Tech's Gary Downey receives commonwealth's highest faculty honor], Virginia Tech News.</ref> He calls his own approach critical participation in discussions and debates about engineering education, research, practice, policy, and representation.<ref name="voa" />
