46-3425 Technology and Culture

The use of technologies raises complex and provocative questions about the relationships between humans, animals, the built environment and the natural world. This course engages these questions by introducing students to key theorists, critics and cultural historians of technology. The goal of this course is for students to utilize these perspectives as a means to initiate and/or develop a critical analysis of technologies in their specific cultural, political and historical contexts.
