Advanced ALESS I
Global Liberal Arts（Popular Science and Technology Communication）
In this course, we examine how popular (meaning intended for public consumption) communication about science and technology reflects and shapes social structures. Students will investigate how science and technology are defined, how they are talked/written about by science communicators, and what role this popular communication plays in society. We will read science news articles, pick apart conspiracy theory writings, analyze science YouTubers/TikTokers and a variety of other mediums, comparing their affordances and effectiveness. The readings, writing assignments, and discussions will help students to analyze how texts implicitly and explicitly frame science to the public, thus developing their ability to assess and communicate scientific and technological concepts for a broad audience.
Students taking this course should anticipate completing roughly 2 hours of weekly reading or video tasks to prepare for in-class lecture and discussion.
Due to limited class space and fluctuating enrollment, priority will be given to students who attend the first lesson.
