| SOCI 330 - DEVELOPMENT IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION |
|
The course is an introduction to the contemporary debate about the objectivity of modern science in a multicultural and globalizing world. Current reconstructions of the interconnected origins of western modernity and science are examined and used to define different perspectives on the history and philosophy of science. Cultural studies of science approaches are presented that compare science and other knowledge systems. In these contexts assessments of the social and cultural impacts of scientific knowledge and scientized-technologies are examined.
