]]>Archaeology may seem an unlikely place for community-based collaborative research to take root but, in fact, it has a rich tradition of public engagement, and in settler-colonial contexts it is being transformed by powerful and insistent demands to decolonize its practice. Bearing in mind the challenge posed by Tuck and Yang – that “decolonization is not a metaphor” – I explore the question of what’s required to do archaeological research in the context of ethical and respectful, community-led partnerships with Indigenous descent communities.

In this course students explore interactions among the humanities, the sciences and technology, including study of the sciences and technology using humanistic approaches, and study of the effects of the sciences and technology on art, philosophy and society. Students will have the opportunity to consider the role of human values in the pursuit of the sciences and in the invention and employment of various technologies. Practical social and political issues relating to science and technology will also be addressed.

This course will take an integrative approach to some of the major issues of public health, such as sanitation reform, eugenics, the disparities between health in wealthy and developing nations, and the tension between civil rights and the public good. We begin with an introduction to the field paying special attention to the epistemological, ethical, and legal dimensions of these issues. As we progress into our historical survey we will focus on cultural and social determinants of these issues, how they correspond to policy and practice in the present, and what, if anything, we might do to create change.
