SOCI 048C. Sociology of Science
This class explores science as a social phenomenon. It first looks at the various ‘internal’ aspects of science as an institution, including its organizational structures, work practices, status systems, and forms of discourse. It then turns to the ‘external’ issues of how science relates to the rest of society, including its connection to gender, racial, and international inequality, its portrayal in the media, its relationship to technology, its conflicts with religion, and its authority as ‘objective’ truth in law and government.
1 credit.
