VO Who Cares? Soziale Verantwortung in Wissenschaft und Technologieentwicklung

The course is part of the “Certificate Gender & Diversity Competence” since Summer Semester 2023. Many students also attend the lecture as an elective course for other study programs. The audience is mixed (interdisciplinary, mostly BA and MA students, sometimes PhD students). The aim of this course is to convey a basic understanding of how science, technology and society interrelate, with a focus on what responsibilities come with science and technology development (integrity, ethics, considering broader societal implications). I introduce myself as based in the fields of Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI).
