2002-2003 Weekly Brown Bag Lunch Discussion
"The Culture of Science"

Wednesdays, 12-1, Multicultural Center (229 Roberts Road). Open to all ... contact Anne Dalke or Elizabeth McCormack for additional information.

Next meeting:

9 October
Katherine Rowe will open a group discussion about technology, history and the various instincts we have about what counts as progress in the different disciplines. Katherine is a scholar of Renaissance literature with a particular interest in the history of psychology.

In keeping with the practices of literary study, Katherine asks you to read a short excerpt from a conversation about technology and time, between Bruno Latour (historian of science) and Michel Serres (hard to classify, perhaps "philosopher of science"). You may download the excerpt from her E-reserve page for English 250, password "englb250". The reading is listed there as "Serres & Latour. 'Conversations on Science, Culture, and Time.'" .

On Line Forum for continuing discussion
