The Emerging Technologies and Their Ramifications Working Group (ETWG) has as its goal to bring together graduate students and faculty from broadly varying disciplines across the UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco campuses, as well as from academic institutions and industry beyond. Drawing from various sources in this way, we hope to create a productive space with this working group for cross-disciplinary conversation on the cultural, ethical, legal, and political ramifications of emerging technologies – from the points of view of social scientists studying the larger picture of developing sciences and from those of biological scientists and engineers developing these fields.
We are excited to announce the creation of the Sciences and Society Course Thread!
By focusing on common intellectual themes, Course Threads projects provide opportunities for multi-disciplinary exploration by undergraduates across campus. Undergraduates interested in the connections across science, medicine, technology and the social can use the Sciences and Society Course Thread to select classes, identify resources, or frame research questions. This Course Thread seeks to make connections between departments and faculty and, in doing so, provoke new conversations and create a map for the exploration of the vital field of science studies across the Berkeley campus.
