SCTS 208 Energy and Society 4.0 Credits
In this course, the tools of Science and Technology Studies (STS) to explore the role of energy in society will be used. The survey will include an analysis of energy infrastructures in relation to environmental justice; energy policy in relation to the housing crisis; and energy technologies in relation to efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. A core part of this course will be development of a portfolio, through in-class micro-assignments. Each weekly class will be divided into discussion of the assigned readings, project-based learning, group work, and media analysis.
