中文简介:
我们可以从科学和技术中学到什么,我们可以用这些知识做什么?在这些问题中,“我们”是谁?谁的知识和专长被转化为公共政策、新药、文化和政治话语的话题、科学教育等等?在民主社会中,科学技术方面的专业知识和外行知识如何调和?我们如何理解生物与非生物、人类与非人类、个人与集体在科学知识和技术生产中的相互作用? 该课程将这些问题作为不断扩大的工作的切入点,女权主义者、反种族主义者和其他批判性分析家和活动家为这些工作做出了重大贡献。该课程还以这些问题为邀请,挑战专业知识、性别、种族、阶级和地点的障碍,这些障碍限制了更广泛地获取和理解科学知识和技术的生产。本着这种精神,学生参与创新的、基于问题的学习 (PBL) 方法,使他们能够塑造自己的探究方向并发展他们作为调查员和未来教师的技能。同时,PBL案例让学生的批判性能力参与进来,因为他们在与教师共同构建的个性化书目和其他学生的项目的指导下,了解对性别、种族和科学技术复杂性的现有分析。鼓励来自各个领域和准备水平的学生参加该课程。
课程简介: What can we learn about science and technology–and what can we do with that knowledge? Who are “we” in these questions?–whose knowledge and expertise gets made into public policy, new medicines, topics of cultural and political discourse, science education, and so on? How can expertise and lay knowledge about science and technology be reconciled in a democratic society? How can we make sense of the interactions of living and non-living, humans and non-humans, individual and collectivities in the production of scientific knowledge and technologies? The course takes these questions as entry points into an ever-growing body of work to which feminist, anti-racist, and other critical analysts and activists have made significant contributions. The course also takes these questions as an invitation to practice challenging the barriers of expertise, gender, race, class, and place that restrict wider access to and understanding of the production of scientific knowledge and technologies. In that spirit, students participate in an innovative, problem-based learning (PBL) approach that allows them to shape their own directions of inquiry and develop their skills as investigators and prospective teachers. At the same time the PBL cases engage students’ critical faculties as they learn about existing analyses of gender, race, and the complexities of science and technology, guided by individualized bibliographies co-constructed with the instructors and by the projects of the other students. Students from all fields and levels of preparation are encouraged to join the course.
