Community of Scholars

Building a community of scholars is a cornerstone of both the University's strategic plan and the Center for Science, Technology, and Society's mission.  The Center fosters a community of scholarship and learning about the complex interplay of science and technology with culture and society, which requires a keen understanding of socio-technical dimensions of technology in use.
