Simpler title, e.g., "Gender, Race, and the Complexities of Science and Technology", "Gender, Race, and Other Complexities of the Production of Science"

Short description The production of science and technology is a complex realm in which the diverse capacities, agency, and affordances of living and non-living, humans and non-humans, individual and collectivities are mobilized, confronted, and transformed. Despite the importance of this realm in society, it remains relatively insulated from wider public deliberation. At the same time, there is an ever-growing body of work engaging with the complexities of this realm, to which feminist and critical analysts and activists continue to make significant contributions. Students from all fields and levels of preparation are encouraged to participate in an innovative, problem-based learning approach to challenging the barriers of expertise, gender, race, class, and place that restrict wider access to the production of scientific knowledge and technology.

UMB course release for PT a. Carry over from Spr 08 -- yes -- w/ CIT leading for PT in Fall 08 or 2 CLRs + synthesis in spring. [aa + a = 3 CLRs in year w/ GCWS as formal overload.] Think about whether to take this option.

b. AM bequeaths his CLR to the course c. PPol G 749 (changed to "Scientific and Political Change") runs again in Spr 09, but not held to the 8 minimum at UMB -- risky. (On load but no buyout b/c we get 4 guaranteed for UMB u/g's/honors & find them and we find 4 others -- highlight pedagogical innovation.) d. Joint buyout
