For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm This subject introduces the history of science from antiquity to the present. Students consider the impact of philosophy, art, magic, social structure, and folk knowledge on the development of what has come to be called "science" in the Western tradition, including those fields today designated as physics, biology, chemistry, medicine, astronomy and the mind sciences. Topics include concepts of matter, nature, motion, body, heavens, and mind as these have been shaped over the course of history. Students read original works by Aristotle, Vesalius, Newton, Lavoisier, Darwin, Freud, and Einstein, among others. http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=ae90663e7ea27e265576a2cf9944ae5e http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/science-technology-and-society/sts-003-the-rise-of-modern-science-fall-2010 Jones, David Kaiser, David 2011-08-05T11:29:58+05:00 STS.003 en-US history of science philosophy ancient history medieval history industrial revolution natural history cosmology psychology relativity MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm Today many people assume that technological change is the major factor in historical change and that it tends to lead to historical progress. This class turns these assumptions into a question—what is the role of technology in history?—by focusing on four key historical transitions: the human revolution (the emergence of humans as a history-making species), the Neolithic Revolution (the emergence of agriculture-based civilizations); the great leap in productivity (also known as the industrial revolution), and the great acceleration that has come with the rise of human empire on the planet. These topics are studied through a mix of textbook reading (David Christian's "Maps of Time"), supplementary readings (ranging from Auel, "The Clan of the Cave Bear" to Hersey, "Hiroshima"), illustrated lectures, class discussions, guest lectures/discussions, short "problem paper" assignments, and a final project defined by the student. Because MIT is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2011, this version of the class will also focus on connections between MIT as an institution and technology in the history of the last 150 years. http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=e4d13510fb237ecc37a5d45180020d30 http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/science-technology-and-society/sts-007-technology-in-history-fall-2010 Williams, Rosalind 2011-07-06T11:04:30+05:00 STS.007 en-US civilization history of agriculture industrial revolution military history prehistoric fossil fuels invention MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm This course explores recent historical and anthropological approaches to the study of life, in both medicine and biology. After grounding our conversation in accounts of natural history and medicine that predate the rise of biology as a discipline, we explore modes of theorizing historical and contemporary bioscience. Drawing on the work of historian William Coleman, we examine the forms, functions, and transformations of biological and medical objects of study. Along the way we treat the history of heredity, molecular biology, race, medicine in the colonies and the metropole, and bioeconomic exchange. We read anthropological literature on old and new forms of biopower, at scales from the molecular to the organismic to the global. The course includes readings from the HASTS Common Exam List. The aim of this seminar is to train students to be participants in scholarly debates in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences about the nature of life, the body, and biomedicine. http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=21f940d3db36a103f21bd13a9566bb4a http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/science-technology-and-society/sts-330j-history-and-anthropology-of-medicine-and-biology-spring-2009 Jones, David Helmreich, Stefan 2009-12-10T16:00:12+05:00 STS.330J 21A.830J en-US historical medicine medieval dissection gender visible human project genealogies genome biological kinship biology of race race and disease emerging diseases human relationship with animals reproductive technologies therapeutics bioprospecting climate change environmental technology MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm This seminar examines the history and legacy of the Cold War on American science. It explores scientist's new political roles after World War II, ranging from elite policy makers in the nuclear age to victims of domestic anti Communism. It also examines the changing institutions in which the physical sciences and social sciences were conducted during the postwar decades, investigating possible epistemic effects on forms of knowledge. The subject closes by considering the place of science in the post-Cold War era. http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=be017e4dd7191ece1ac322d9af19ce20 http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/science-technology-and-society/sts-436-cold-war-science-fall-2008 Kaiser, David 2009-06-19T16:25:06+05:00 STS.436 en-US cold war history of science nuclear age post-cold-war era atomic bomb nuclear weapons atom bomb hydrogen bomb atomic energy McCarthyism espionage anti-communism spying soviet union american science HUAC oppenheimer arms race disarmament Sputnik iron curtain space race globalization capitalism academic freedom CIA National Security Agency NSA military-industrial complex quantum physics physics MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted. MIT OpenCourseWare materials are licensed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under a Creative Commons License (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike). For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm We will explore the changing political choices and ethical dilemmas of American scientists from the atomic scientists of World War II to biologists in the present wrestling with the questions raised by cloning and other biotechnologies. As well as asking how we would behave if confronted with the same choices, we will try to understand the choices scientists have made by seeing them in their historical and political contexts. Some of the topics covered include: the original development of nuclear weapons and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the effects of the Cold War on American science; the space shuttle disasters; debates on the use of nuclear power, wind power, and biofuels; abuse of human subjects in psychological and other experiments; deliberations on genetically modified food, the human genome project, human cloning, embryonic stem cell research; and the ethics of archaeological science in light of controversies over museum collections. http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=99374150f977af0b32f153a585c45ef0 http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/science-technology-and-society/sts-011-american-science-ethical-conflicts-and-political-choices-fall-2007 Foley, Brendan 2009-01-30T15:23:55+05:00 STS.011 en-US risk science society ethics politics technology history controversy atomic whistleblowing GMO genetic engineering nuclear space exploration energy policy debate ethics museum archeology war terrorism tradeoff decision making medicine health care policy biotechnology climate change global warming energy human subjects MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted. MIT OpenCourseWare materials are licensed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under a Creative Commons License (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike). For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm Our linked subjects are (1) the historical process by which the meaning of technology has been constructed, and (2) the concurrent transformation of the environment. To explain the emergence of technology as a pivotal word (and concept) in contemporary public discourse, we will examine responses — chiefly political and literary — to the development of the mechanic arts, and to the linked social, cultural, and ecological transformation of 19th- and 20th-century American society, culture, and landscape. Note: In the interests of freshness and topicality we regard the STS.464 syllabus as sufficiently flexible to permit some — mostly minor — variations from year to year. One example of a different STS.464 syllabus can be found in STS.464 Cultural History of Technology, Spring 2005. http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=e14c0c611c367d5908e46f51d6ff71c9 http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/science-technology-and-society/sts-464-technology-and-the-literary-imagination-spring-2008 Marx, Leo Williams, Rosalind 2009-01-26T15:36:46+05:00 STS.464 en-US history technology science techne industry intellectual history cultural history management engineering industrial arts mechanism mechanical arts technological determinism manufacturing manufactures factory capitalism entrepreneurship innovation ecology environmentalism pollution literature American history the Enlightenment industrialization Industrial Revolution MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm This course considers how the visual and material world of "nature" has been reshaped by industrial practices, ideologies, and institutions, particularly in nineteenth- and twentieth-century America. Topics include land-use patterns; the changing shape of cities and farms; the redesign of water systems; the construction of roads, dams, bridges, irrigation systems; the creation of national parks; ideas about wilderness; and the role of nature in an industrial world. From small farms to suburbia, Walden Pond to Yosemite, we will ask how technological and natural forces have interacted, and whether there is a place for nature in a technological world.
