Description: Science has always been social. In this seminar we will explore the complex and sometimes contested relationships between science, technology, and society. We will seek to understand how science studies and “makes” peoples (races, genders, sexes, patients, types); how people understand, engage with, and stake claims in science and sometimes push back; and how scientists themselves engage as actors in the public sphere. Topics to be explored include: the public understanding of science; elite and folk knowledges; citizen science; activist science; and the regulation of science and technology. Repeatable for Credit.
