Investigating Sociology and Politics of Science (HPSC0007)

This module introduces key problems, key concepts and key skills that define academic research in the Sociology and Politics of Science. Through readings of classic and contemporary works in the field we identify the problems and questions that motivate research. What is the relationship between science and political power? Is science a male field? Is science Western? Is there a specific culture of science? Students will be introduced to key research methods used to probe the practice of science and its place within culture and the polity. Students also will learn some of the key steps for conducting original research and critically evaluating evidence.
