CHEM-348 Science, Technology, and Society
An examination of the assumptions, paradigms, and hierarchies embedded in science and technology. This course will examine evidence pointing to the structure of hierarchies built into and from science and how those structures may result in inequalities for various groups participating in and affected by science and technology. Topics will vary but might include: the objectivity/subjectivity of science; how biases and social structures intersect with equity, diversity, and inclusion in science; and gender and race disparities in STEM fields.
