Students in any humanistic or social science discipline are welcome, as are those already engaged in history of science or STS or those simply curious about the field. Through a reading of central texts in the field, the course will introduce some of the classic problems and methodologies in history and STS, as well as current trends in the field now. Final paper topics can explore a particular approach to STS, consider a variety of perspectives on a single topic (e.g., race, gender, imperialism, etc.), or connect STS perspectives to the student's own research interests.
