History of Science

Catalog description

Description: This course offers an introduction to the history of science from the ancient world to the present. It will not focus exclusively on discoveries and their discoverers. Instead, it will stress questions such as: What is science, how has it been practiced, and by whom? Does culture play a role in scientific development? What is the relationship of gender, race, class, sexual identity, and science? May not be used for degree credit with HIST 3073.
