English Studies in Science and Technology

3 credits · Undergraduate

Science and technology shape how we understand ourselves, our relationship to our planet, and our place in the universe. This English course balances writing skills and strategies, rhetoric, and text-based research with an exploration of literary and non-literary readings related to technology and science. Topics of discussion include the Industrial Revolution and mechanisation; technology and the human; sustainability and our ecological footprint; plants, animals, and the welfare of non-human life; our relationship with AI and machines; equity and diversity in science and technology; and Indigenous futurisms.
