STEM Ethical Culture: A focus on the behavior of the scientist, but not the science

Senior CoSSaR Researcher, Dr. Robin Mays, and HCDE master’s student, Yifan Lin, have released a new presentation titled “STEM Ethical Culture: A focus on the behavior of the scientist, but not the science” as part of their work on the Ethical STEM project.

The University of Washington’s Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE), in collaboration with the American Red Cross Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC), aim to a) bring greater understanding for transforming STEM culture through the analysis of HICT as a specific practice of ethical STEM within a socially accountable culture, b) bring humanitarian practitioners, academics and technology creators together to advance methods for ethical accountability in technology development and c) deliver and evaluate practical frameworks for cultivating culture change that enhances ethical STEM. This project is led by Affiliate Assistant Professor and Senior Researcher Dr. Robin Mays.

More information regarding STEM Ethical Culture can be found on the Global Disaster Preparedness Center’s Ethics in Technology page.
