Science, Technology, and Society Seminar: STS Circle at Harvard
"Our Robots, Ourselves: Robotics and Myths of Autonomy"
Speaker: David A. Mindell, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Dibner Professor of the History of Engineering and Manufacturing, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The STS Circle at Harvard is a group of doctoral students and recent PhDs who are interested in creating a space for interdisciplinary conversations about contemporary issues in science and technology that are relevant to people in fields such as anthropology, history of science, sociology, STS, law, government, public policy, and the natural sciences. We want to engage not only those who are working on intersections of science, politics, and public policy, but also those in the natural sciences, engineering, and architecture who have serious interest in exploring these areas together with social scientists and humanists.
Location: Pierce 100F, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, 29 Oxford Street
Sandwich lunches are provided. Please RSVP to sts@hks.harvard.edu by Wednesday at 5PM the week before.
