SOCI 2243 - Cultural Studies I:Sci/Tech

Institution:

Fairleigh Dickinson University-College at Florham

Subject:

Description:

A course which looks at different areas of culture and culture change, asking the question: "How did we get to where we are now in our lives, given the cultural foundations of the past?" This course, "Science, Technology, Work, and Belief," especially emphasizes the way in which our perceptions and expectations are shaped through cultural forces exerted on us, and through responses via work, technology, and belief systems, to those forces. Each course, though framed in the traditional classroom/ format, will be highly participatory in content. Student surveys, collaborative projects, journal-histories, and observations are some of the ways in which active student response to ideas shapes the outcomes of this course. [1/24/2000]
