Fall 2008

The Science Studies Network brings together faculty and graduate students at the University of Washington who represent three broad constituencies with interests in science studies: history and philosophy of science; cultural studies of science; and ethics, equity, and policy issues in science.

We plan a two-year program of colloquium meetings with the aim of establishing a robust interdisciplinary research network. Our further goals are to foster topic-specific collaborative research projects, and to explore the potential for developing an interdisciplinary curriculum in science studies that integrates dispersed course offerings and builds on the success of the existing major in History and Philosophy of Science.
