In the Science and Technology Studies Unit (SATSU), we are interested in better understanding how people develop and use scientific knowledge and technological systems and artefacts, and start from the view that science and technologies are embedded in the societies and cultures in which they are made, used, and debated. We ask:
- How does science and technology shape the world we live in?
- How do cultural and political values and economic interests drive transformations in science and technology?
- How can people come together to critique and contribute to making a more equitable world that enhances diverse voices in science and technology?
- And how can we use creative approaches to bring about more just scientific, technological and social futures?
