York University (Canada) Science & Technology Studies (STS) Graduate Program * Should scientists and engineers develop facial recognition software? What is the role of scientists and engineers in communicating the societal threats posed by global pandemics, artificial intelligence, and climate change? Can scientists and engineers be neutral observers? How should scientists and engineers engage with societal stakeholders like governments, publics, and business? How do you ensure that science and technology are designed for everyone? What sorts of social, cultural, and political values shape science and technology? Is innovation meant to be ethical and socially responsible? And, what are the social, political, ethical, cultural, and economic implications of science and technology? * These sorts of questions are the core focus of Science & Technology Studies (STS), sometimes called Science, Technology & Society.
