New STS Courses This YearWinter
STS 132: Earth, Space, Bits: Debating the Nature and Future of Humanity
Tue/Thu 12:00pm - 1:20pm
Are humans fundamentally symbiotic organisms who cannot exist apart from the rest of earthly life? Should humans try to alter their physiology in order to inhabit other planets? Or might the ultimate purpose of human existence be to leave organic biology behind entirely? This course explores a range of competing contemporary claims concerning the nature and future of humanity. This class is approved as Socio-cultural course for Catastrophic Risks and Solutions, Politics and Policy, Social Dynamics of Data and Information, and Innovation and Organization. It is also approved as a Concentration Core class for Catastrophic Risks and Solutions and Politics and Policy.
Spring
STS 139: Designing Regenerative Societies
Tue/Thu 10:30am - 11:50am
The world is changing in contradictory ways. Emerging technology, the evolving geopolitical economy, and ecological challenges present opportunities but also cascading risks. The pathway from our current destructive and extractive economy towards a more regenerative economy is unclear. There is a stark tension between gigascale opportunities such as AI, fusion energy, nanotech, quantum tech, space colonization, and biomanufacturing on the one hand, and degrowth necessities such as rethinking growth and using less resources on the other. This tension is steeped in political choices constrained by industrial power dynamics and conditioned by inequality. To what extent do visions and incentives align across industry, government, and social movements? What would the choice to scale or descale entail in each case - and are they mutually exclusive?This class is approved as a Socio-cultural course for Politics and Policy and as a Concentration Core class for Catastrophic Risks and Solutions and Innovation and Organization.
