    Description
    This course explores the global development of science and technology, addressing the contributions of historically marginalized communities. The course examines major scientific breakthroughs and technological innovations, their societal impacts, and their intersections with ethics, bias, and power structures. Topics include the role of artificial intelligence (AI), surveillance, and the ethical dimensions of technological advancement, particularly in relation to marginalized populations. Students will engage critically with how science and technology shape and are shaped by broader societal issues of equity and justice. (CSU/UC)
