GWST: Gender, Women, & Science being offered this fall
GWST 378: Gender, Women, & Science is being offered this fall, 4:30-7 on Thursdays.
This course explores how the sciences have conceptualized and explained various forms of difference-what scientific knowledge says about sex,
gender, race, sexuality, and other identity categories - as well as whether gender and race shape the "doing" of science-(how) does identity matter in
scientific practice? Through a series of writing and research projects, the course asks students to untangle the complex relationship between scientific
-knowledge and social inequality, and to consider role of scientific practice in social change.

Talk by Alison Wylie Thursday April 20 at 4 pm
Collaborative Practice in Archaeology
Why Human Context Matters with Dr. Alison Wylie
Archaeology may seem an unlikely place for community-based collaborative research to take root but, in fact, it has a rich tradition of public engagement, and in settler-colonial contexts it is being transformed by powerful and insistent demands to decolonize its practice. Bearing in mind the challenge posed by Tuck and Yang – that “decolonization is not a metaphor” – I explore the question of what’s required to do archaeological research in the context of ethical and respectful, community-led partnerships with Indigenous descent communities.
Alison Wylie,
Professor, Canada Research Chair (Tier I), Philosophy of the Social and Historical Sciences, Department of Philosophy
University of British Columbia
Organized by the Human Context of Science and Technology program. Cosponsored by the departments of American Studies; Ancient Studies; Gender, Women’s, + Sexuality Studies; Philosophy; Sociology, Anthropology, and Public Health; and the Center for Social Science Scholarship.

REQUIRED COURSES
HCST 100: The Human Context of Science and Technology
In this course students explore interactions among the humanities, the sciences and technology, including study of the sciences and technology using humanistic approaches, and study of the effects of the sciences and technology on art, philosophy and society. Students will have the opportunity to consider the role of human values in the pursuit of the sciences and in the invention and employment of various technologies. Practical social and political issues relating to science and technology will also be addressed.
Instructor: Eric Brown

Instruction Mode: In Person
Class Attributes: Arts and Humanities (GEP); Writing Intensive
HCST 499 / PUBL 398 / HIST 494: Public Health in Historical, Philosophical, and Social Context
This course will take an integrative approach to some of the major issues of public health, such as sanitation reform, eugenics, the disparities between health in wealthy and developing nations, and the tension between civil rights and the public good. We begin with an introduction to the field paying special attention to the epistemological, ethical, and legal dimensions of these issues. As we progress into our historical survey we will focus on cultural and social determinants of these issues, how they correspond to policy and practice in the present, and what, if anything, we might do to create change.
