Course Description

This course helps students think critically about the connections between science, technology and society through case studies. Students will learn how to identify how human factors shape how science is conducted and used, and how technologies are developed and received. Through hands-on activities, students will explore the diversity of materials, settings and people involved in the making of science and technology, as well as understand the impact of science and technology on society. Case studies may include global climate change, food production, the digital landscape, pseudoscience, and biotechnology.
