"The Science, Technology and Society Program is designed to provide the student with an integrated understanding of the ways in which science and technology interact with the culture of any society -today and in the past-, both as part of that culture and also as a force for change. What is Science, Technology and Society? Science, Technology and Society is the study of the role of science as a cultural and political force in shaping modern society and the role social forces play in determining our science and technology. From the air we breathe and the food we eat to the conversations we share and the journeys we make, science and technology play a critical role in everyday life around the globe."
