This module develops social and historical perspectives with the insights of radical, anti-colonial and decolonizing traditions. Using case studies from toxic waste, remote sensing, debt, drone surveillance, automation and the technologies of migrant crossings and protest movements, this course supports students to develop their own critical research about the place of science in the global system. Students will have the opportunity to apply what they have learned for themselves through introduction to diverse media, from award-winning films and oral history recordings to museum and art collections; and through individual tutor support to develop their own short research project on a topic of their choice.
