HM216 Science, Technology, Society (3-0-0-3)

Course Objective: This course is designed to encourage students to understand, explore and critically analyze ways in which science and technology work in diverse social contexts. It draws its basic approaches from Science and Technology studies (STS) which is a growing field of interdisciplinary studies that seeks to understand how science and technology shape human lives and livelihoods and how society and culture, in turn, shape the development of science and technology. This course, intends to introduce students to some of the key philosophical, sociological and historical approaches towards understanding the workings of science and technology in our times. By the end of the course, it is expected that students will have the conceptual tools and vocabulary to think about the meanings of science and technology in varied social, political and cultural contexts. They will be able to generate critical discussion around the impact of STS on their received ideas about science, and reflect upon their own professional goals and practice going forward.

Course Contents:
The course will be organized around four units, consisting of class lectures, discussion, and presentations. The first unit will map the broad field of STS. Students will be introduced to some of the historical and sociological approaches to the understanding of science and technology. They will be introduced to the ideas and works of some of the key thinkers and writers in this field and the nature of contemporary debate on the subjects raised by them. In these lectures we will explore basic questions about what modern science is, the relationship between science and technology, and the role of historical, sociological and anthropological studies of science and technology in helping us think about these questions.
Following this broad introduction to STS in Unit One, in Units Two and Three, students will be introduced to debates on science and technology in the Indian context. Class lectures and reading in Unit Two will focus on the structural impacts of colonialism, developmental planning and liberalization on the growth and development of Indian scientific and technological endeavors in different domains, especially public health.  Unit Three will focus specifically on the lives and questions raised by women in the fields of science and technology in post liberalization India. Together, these units will allow us to analyze the contemporary moment, and explore frameworks that seek to make sense of it. In Unit Four, students will be encouraged to take up the theoretical questions raised in Units One to Three, and pursue a short research study as a Group Project. The focus this year will be on the gendered worlds of science and technology, where we will look into the different ways in which social relations shape these fields and their questions.
