WS 348U Science, Gender, and Social Context
Two-term course explores the strengths and limitations of science to describe and predict nature through laboratory and field investigations. These activities will illustrate the transition from a reductionist view of our natural environment to a systems-oriented view. It will place this historical shift in understanding and scientific practice in the contexts of gender, race, and class using selected case studies in environmental management. Includes laboratory and/or fieldwork. Thihs is the second course in a sequence of two: WS 347 and WS 348. This course is the same as Sci 347, 348; may only be taken once for credit.
