What You'll Learn
SOC371 Science, Technology, and Society examines the complex interaction between science, technology, and society. Science and technology do not deterministically transform social structure and practice. The society plays an important role in shaping not only how science and technology impacts society but also science and technology itself. We will explore how social, political, cultural and material conditions shape scientific work and technological innovation, how technology embodies and reproduces societal values and priorities, how scientific knowledge changes our self-perception, and how technology affects social relations and civic participation. Throughout the course, we will strive to figure out the ongoing, open-ended entanglements between science, technology, and society.
