STS Resources Requirements for Minor in Science Studies The interdisciplinary Minor in Science Studies is designed for students in the Faculty of Arts who would like to examine the history, philosophy, sociology, and discourse practices of the scientific disciplines. The purpose of this program is to promote the study of scientific work and thought from a variety of perspectives usually associated with the humanities and social sciences. Students will explore, for example, issues about the production and representation of scientific knowledge, the creation and maintenance of intellectual authority in the practices of the sciences, as well as relations between nature and culture. A background in science is not required, although curiosity about scientific matters is an asset. In consultation with an advisor, students should select 18 credits from the following courses, keeping in mind that some of them will have prerequisites. Students are advised to see a program advisor for information regarding courses offered in other faculties that will count towards the program. Also given below are a few lower division courses which are recommended but not required. Other courses may be included from year to year.

Master / Science and Technology Studies Master Opleidingen Agenda Waarom de UvA? ... Contact Science and Technology Studies (MSc) Master In today’s ‘knowledge society’ science and technology have become central to processes of social, economic and cultural change. Though innovative technologies are expected to solve so many of our current problems, they also bring normative dilemmas and new risks with them. The expectations of, and debates around, genetic modification of foodstuffs or animals, or stem cell research, are illustrative. Scientific advice has become crucial in many areas of social and political debate and policy making. Yet the scientific knowledge it can draw on is influenced by political and economic interests. The technologies that are transforming our lives (such as communications and information technologies, medical technologies) have been created in institutions with their own goals and values. The interrelations between science, technology, society and culture are complex. They differ significantly between societies and they change over time. The master’s programme in Science and Technology Studies trains students to think critically and analytically about the sources of scientific and technological change and about their implications for society. Drawing on the methods and insights of history, sociology, political science and anthropology, the programme is highly interdisciplinary. In following it, you will learn to investigate what science and technology are, how they work and what they do, using the empirical methods of the social sciences. You will prepare yourself to take on one of many functions demanding the ability to ‘ translate’ between the world of the laboratory and the expectations and concerns with which societies confront science and technology.

Science and technology shape the world around us, even shaping our beliefs and who we think we are. Science, Technology and Society (STS) is a fundamentally interdisciplinary field of study that critically explores such shaping. STS provides a historical philosophical , and sociological insight into the making of science and technology, drawing upon the history, philosophy and sociology of science, as well as cultural, legal and feminist studies. Through these different perspectives, it aims to build a critical understanding of issues inside science and technology, questioning, for example, epistemological issues (the nature of scientific and technological knowledge) . It also examines the relationship between science and technology and other social activities, such as the organisation of the workplace, health policy, and environmental policymaking. STS therefore also provides critical insight into the many of the

What are scientific facts? What do technologies actually do? How are people caught up in devices? Why are so many technologies so 'anti-user'? Why do computers fail in the real world? In our MA in Science and Technology Studies we explore the tools for thinking about such questions. And we critically examine scientific and technological 'facts'. We use empirical examples to explore the processes involved in making technoscience. We also explore research methods appropriate to Science and Technology Studies. The course is modular. There are six modules (2 compulsory, 4 elective), and it ends with a research-based dissertation. Are you interested? Please contact us!

CASL Home Page STS Home Page The Program in Science and Technology Studies: Launched in 2002, the University of Michigan-Dearborn's new Program in Science and Technology Studies (STS) is the first in the nation to give special attention to the impact of a single technology and a single industrythe automobileon American culture. Funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Program was developed by an interdisciplinary group of UM-D faculty from the College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters and the College of Engineering. The Program's curriculum consists of an introductory course, STS 300, on The Automobile in American Life and Society and three groups of upper-level course offerings on "Science, Technology, and Cultures," "Science, Technology, and Labor," and "Science, Technology, and Environments." An undergraduate minor in STS is currently available to students in all academic units. What is Science and Technology Studies? STS is a multidisciplinary field in which scholars from the humanities, social sciences, and behavioral sciences examine the social contexts from which science and technology emerge, the intertwined organizations of people and things used to implement scientific and technological systems, the social consequences of these systems, and the cultural reactions to them. Science and technology studies of the automobile, for example, analyzes the social as well as the technical reasons for the emergence of the internal combustion engine, the reorganization of factories and reconceptualization of labor fueled by mass production techniques, the impact of the automobile on the design of cities and the development of suburbs, and the iconic status of the car in American culture.

In reporting on the travel of thoughts and things, the authors in the volume undermine commonly held ideas about technology transfer. Their story shows how the process of transfer transforms and reshapes the object that travels. More importantly, they show how the travel of knowledge and technology results in new socio-technical arrangements, as well as in new socio-technical objects. These stories also relate how the authors themselves take part in achieving such processes of transfer and transformation. As anthropologists, consultants, and science studies researchers we do not stand outside the transfers that we describe. The volume is, therefore, a commentary not only on the practice of knowledge and technology transfer, but also on the practice of observation and intervention.
