ANTH 318: ANTHROPOLOGY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
This course examines how scientific knowledge and emergent technologies affect our lives, identities, and material conditions.
Science and technology structure how we understand the world.
However, while technoscience is often projected as being value-neutral it is also fundamentally embedded within social relations.
Drawing on anthropological and interdisciplinary materials, this course will interrogate the ways in which science and technology give shape to everyday life in relation to health and healthcare, the environment, new media technologies, and Al and robotics.
