SOC 206 |
How is scientific knowledge created? This course explores "knowledge production" as a social process, and introduces students to the puzzles that animate social studies of science and medicine. Students will consider, for example, how technologies, training, laws, demographics, and work practices affect what we take to be matters of fact. This course sets the groundwork for upper-level courses in SISP. |
