Science as a Diversity/Discovery Subject

A general starting point: the three blind (wo)men and the elephant

• Or maybe six?
• in psychology
• Poem, by John Godrey Saxe
• in information systems and design

A starting point: reactions to "Science is the systematic search for truth".

What is science? not-science?

• scientist, not scientists?
• scientific understanding? other understandings?
• scientific perspective? other perspectives?
• scientific method? other methods?
• scientific objective? other objectives?

How important is science? to whom?

What role should science play in education? in one's own teaching?
