This course aims to develop an understanding of how knowledge and skills in molecular biology is used to understand how genes work and how they can be put to work in biotechnology. It is a complex science but it also challenges society with complex questions. We will examine the history and contemporary context of molecular biology that co-develops with various major challenges in society. How do emergent technologies advance particular ideologies and interests, and how has the science been shaped by them? What impact has the development had on equity and democracy.? The course provides students with skills that will help them grow in the role of critic and the conscience of society.
