SOCI 129. Sociology of Technology
This seminar explores sociological approaches to understanding the development and impact of technology. The first half reviews the literature on a number of basic topics, including utopian and dystopian predictions, historical and constructionist approaches to explaining technological development, and debates over the control of technological risk. The second half further explores these ideas by looking at more detailed topics, with seminar participants themselves selecting the topics, as well as finding and presenting appropriate readings.
