SOCI 008F. First-Year Seminar: Technology and Humanity
It sometimes seems as if science and technology tend to replace communal understanding and human relationships. Historical and social scientific investigations suggest this is an illusion however; technology has always been shaped by and embedded in personal connections, group struggles, and cultural understandings. The class will explore this using examples such as the development of modern industry, the construction of railroads, the risks of nuclear catastrophe, the digital divide, and the development of online identities.
