The Program
Science and technology are increasingly important sources of change in the world. The Program in Science, Technology, and Values offers students the opportunity to examine historical, socio-political, cultural, philosophical, and ethical dimensions of science and technology. It encourages both science and non-science students to analyze, in a focused way, the impact of science and technology on other social institutions and the impact of those institutions on science and technology.
In addition to an undergraduate program of study, the program promotes a set of graduate offerings, runs the Intercollege Faculty Seminar in Humanities and Sciences, and sponsors the annual New England Workshop on Science and Social Change.
