Technology and Culture: Course Description
This OpenCourseWare from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology looks at how culture, politics and technology intersect in different historical and social settings, from the 19th to the 21st century. The course is organized around three questions. Students ask what the results of treating biology as technology are and how the computer has influenced our view of ourselves and our world. This course work also guides students to ask if politics informs our infrastructures. MIT Professor Stefan Helmreich teaches this free undergraduate anthropology class.
