Description

This module explores the relationships between science, war and the prevention of war. It will place military and security technologies within social, political, and historical contexts. We place a particular emphasis on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and on weapons usually designated as 鈥榰nconventional鈥� or 鈥榳eapons of mass destruction鈥�. In addition to thinking about how science, technology and warfare have shaped each other, this module also considers the changing role of the scientist in relation to the state. It also considers broader themes, such as arms control, disarmament, ethics, and popular culture in relation to war. No prerequisites.
