Bruno Latour - A Primer in SCIENTIFIC HUMANITIES
ABOUT THE COURSE

"Scientific humanities" means the extension of interpretative skills
to the discoveries made by science and to technical innovations. The
course will equip future citizens with the means to be at ease with
many issues that straddle the distinctions between science, morality,
politics and society.

The course provides concepts and methods to :

learn the basics of the field called "science and technology studies",
a vast corpus of literature developed over the last forty years to
give a realistic description of knowledge production
handle the flood of different opinions about contentious issues and
order the various positions by using the tools now available through
digital media
comment on those different pieces of news in a more articulated way
through a specifically designed blog.
Course Format : the course is organized in 8 sequences It displays
multimedia contents (images, video, original documents)
