Our Community
The Center for Science, Technology, Medicine & Society (CSTMS) values and celebrates the diverse community of scholars, professionals, and collaborators who contribute to its vibrant intellectual life. Below, you’ll find more information about the individuals who shape and support CSTMS, past and present, including our leadership, researchers, faculty, students, staff, and visiting affiliates.
Undergraduate and graduate education are central to CSTMS’s mission. From our Course Thread in Sciences & Society for undergraduates to advanced graduate programs like the PhD Field in History of Science and the Designated Emphasis in Science & Technology Studies, CSTMS supports interdisciplinary learning at all levels. Learn more about our course offerings and programs here.
From work that probes the futures of nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima earthquake, to research on internet-mediated transformations in global political activism, to the intersection of race, genomics, and personalized medicine, CSTMS faculty are bringing new perspectives to major issues of our times. The dynamism and breadth of our research reflects the depth and expertise represented by the three research units that make up the Center.
CSTMS has opportunities for many different types of people to become involved.
