Science, Technology and Society (STS) - also called Science and Technology Studies - is an interdisciplinary field of study that seeks to understand how science and technology shape society and culture and how society and culture, in turn, shape the development of science and technology.  These are fundamental issues that underlie questions of sustainability and community especially when developing technology solutions that depend on knowledge of social and environmental context.  This course explores key topics, debates, and theoretical perspectives ion STS.  Featuring guest lectures by faculty from across Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, the seminar introduces students both to a wide range of STS topics and approaches, and to faculty who do research in this area.  It is also the core course required for the Graduate Certificate in Science, Technology & Society.
