Alternate years. Selective studies of how science and technology have shaped modern society.

Controversial issues involving science and society are examined in light of both scientific and religious values. While focusing mainly on examples selected from the U.S. context, the course also introduces perspectives relevant to international relations and global systems of cooperation and commerce.
