Description

In Debating Politics and Science, students take on key roles in the process of translating contemporary science into public policy. Working in small groups over the course of the term, we simulate and learn about the distinct roles of scientific research, social science, outreach, and policymakers in affecting change on key social outcomes related to a key scientific issue in the news. Over the course of the term, students experience the key challenges encountered in making sense of the science, understanding how it relates to public behavior, identifying strategies that can help to “move the needle,” and organizing the class to ensure that our efforts are successful and that the science is effectively and accurately communicated in the process. The focus of the class changes from term to term to track scientific issues that are relevant to policy such as coronavirus and climate change.

Intended Audience:

Freshmen or sophomores

Class Format:

Lecture is a hybrid mode: Meets in person once a week, with some remote work. Lab section once per week for 2.0 hours.
