Science in the Twentieth Century and Beyond (HPSC0087)

More science was done, and more scientists lived, in the twentieth century than in any other century of human history. Furthermore, there were major changes in the framing ideas and organisation of major disciplines. Physics, for example, grappled with new ideas of quantum theory and relativity. The life sciences responded to genetics and molecular approaches. Geology uncovered evidence for continental drift, and astronomy explored an expanding universe. Social science experimented with new methods to measure society and the individual. These intellectual developments were intimately connected to social, economic, political and cultural trends as well as global conflicts, ideological clashes, and economic transformations. This module examines accounts of these changes. The assessment explores primary sources and archives of twentieth century science, developing skills for relating interpretation to an understanding of context based on secondary sources.
