Cultural
and Ethical Issues in Science and Technology |
| 3 crs. 3 hrs. |
In considering ethical positions ranging from animal
rights to environmental philosophies of radical ecology,
and studying the impact of new reproductive technologies
and other biotechnologies on the (so-called) Third World,
students learn about advances made by working scientists
and feminist philosophers in contextualizing science
and technology. A special attempt will be made to study
cultural factors as class, gender and race in order
to understand the responsibilities of scientists and
technologists for the uses of their knowledge; the ethics
of scientific research; and truth and fraud in science
and engineering. |
