SOCS-300-SU01-2026: Studies in the Social Sciences -Biocultural Economies, Science, and Values

This course examines how science becomes public through education, culture, institutions, and place. Drawing from science education and Science, Technology and Society, students explore how biodiversity, cultural knowledge, public learning, and systems of value connect through what this course calls biocultural economies: the relations among ecology, knowledge, labour, stewardship, access, and public meaning.
