Globalization is associated with technological progress and institutions that operate and think globally. This course introduces students to the exciting literature on how science and technology shape (and are shaped by) phenomena like globalization, democracy, political power and identity. Despite our faith in the power of science and technology to improve the human condition, too often their effects have been uneven. Students will learn to see science and technology as ideal sites for Global Studies research.
