Description
Science and technology are two of the most important drivers of our world. As a field of study, STS is organised to interpret those activities in the past, present, and future. This module focuses on some of the 鈥渂ig problems鈥 of our time and the role science and technology plays in their construction and resolution. Each year, we concentrate in depth on one specific 鈥渂ig problem鈥 and we draw staff from across the whole spectrum of our subject - history, philosophy, sociology , politics of science, and more 鈥 to contribute different tools and perspectives to give insights. Topics can range from artificial intelligence, climate change, clean energy, migration and population, pandemics, and social justice. Students have the opportunity to develop research of their own design.
