| Course Title: Being Human in STEM |
| Start Date: 01/19/2021 End Date: 03/12/2021 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2021 |
| Description: This interactive course combines academic inquiry and community engagement to investigate the theme of diversity and climate within STEM fields. We will begin by examining the ways in which cultural norms and practices intersect with our diverse identities and histories to shape our experiences within the STEM disciplines. How can we challenge and change existing cultures and practices to create environments where we can be our full human selves? Together we will investigate the ideas and actions of those who are changing how we construct scientific knowledge and who can engage in that work. We will then build on this foundation to develop projects that further contribute to this endeavor, engaging closely with resources and sites at Mount Holyoke and the surrounding community. Coursework includes weekly readings, reflective writing, creative projects, and in-class discussions, culminating in a public presentation of our collective work. |
