STS perspectives on pandemics, healthcare and inequality
Each week we will explore key concepts from history, philosophy and social studies of science and study various case studies. the focus of this module is to encourage students to develop their skills as independent, interdisciplinary scholars, who can apply these skills to an ongoing global health crisis. The teaching will be a mixture of video lectures, giving topic overviews, critical reading of philosophical and medical sources, and seminar activities, intended to allow students to autonomously develop their analytical skills.
