PUBPOL 583: Science, Technology, and Public Policy (4 credits)

Instructor: Howard McCurdy
Meets: Mondays and Wednesdays, 5:30-8:20 pm; A-term, June 18-July 18
Description: From the spaceship to the computer chip, public officials work hard to promote innovation through science and technology. In turn, discoveries arising from science and technology invite governmental response. This course examines the manner in which science and technology affects public policy. Topics include the debate over how much government support is necessary to spur research and innovation, the manner in which scientific issues make their way onto the policy agenda, the players in science policy, the clash between science and political ideology, the role of government as a regulator of technology, the manner in which technology reshapes governmental organization, and the governance challenges arising from 21^st century technologies. Students additionally examine impending technologies, the relationship between popular culture and technology, and specific policy issues of interest to students in the class.

Professor McCurdy is the author of eight books on science policy, innovation, and space exploration, a professor in the School of Public Affairs at American University in Washington, D.C., and an adjunct professor at the University of Washington. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degree from the University of Washington and his doctorate from Cornell University.

Rise Up! CAGJ Summer School 2018

Rise Up! CAGJ Summer School is an anti-oppression leadership development program exploring food sovereignty movements situated in our local contexts. We prioritize perspectives and voices of people of color and queer activists in the materials and discussions. By deepening our connections and building community, we hope to create a safe space to explore learning edges and encourage newer activists to rise up in leadership.

The 3-month program will delve into our campaign-related themes of African food sovereignty, Farmworker solidarity, and Northwest Native Resistance to GE Salmon through community discussions and site visits. Perspectives of people of color will be prioritized in the materials and discussions as we focus on anti-oppression and intersectional analysis. We will develop the leadership of members involved in the organizing and facilitation and hope to create a safe space to encourage newer activists to explore learning edges and rise up in leadership.
